Rather than the traditional market model of short-term discounts with significant terms attached, we help customers achieve long-term savings on the electricity, gas, and broadband that they use, which counts on every bill. Our approach is different and customer-driven. We pride ourselves on providing customers with an excellent level of service in an operationally efficient manner. PrepayPower is an Equal Opportunity Employer, we believe and treat all our employees, customers, and other stakeholders with dignity and respect.
