Is Nectr worth the switch?

With so much savings potentially on the line, a promotion like this can be hard for customers to resist switching providers straight away, but bill-payers should always consider the rates found in the fine print before making any brash decisions said Canstar Blue’s Energy Editor, Jared Mullane.

“The prospect of having your energy bills paid for an entire year will surely get consumers’ attention, however it’s important to review the rates of any plan before signing up,” he said. “While promotions like Nectr’s will get customers excited, there’s no guarantee you’re going to win, but as the old saying goes; you have to be in it to win it.

“Nectr’s products are generally competitive on price, but many of the retailer’s market offers require certain payment methods which may not suit the needs of all Australians.”

Who is Nectr?
