Pockit and Youtility announce partnership
Integrating Youtility’s platform allows Pockit customers to compare and save on household subscriptions helping to save hundreds of pounds each year. The ongoing cost of living crisis is projected to worsen throughout 2022, particularly in October when energy bills are expected to rise by 40% to c. £3,300, plunging 30% of UK homes into fuel poverty. Helping Pockit customers to reduce their spending will help users build financial resilience and potentially avoid the need to rely on expensive overdrafts or payday loans.
