MYBOND STORY

Your client MyBond is an innovative new fintech disrupting the rental bond market. It was founded in 2020, with the aim of shaking up the rental bond market by providing financing options for people to manage their rental bond payments. MyBond is a new service that assists people pay their rental bonds, reducing the financial stress involved in moving into a new property.

Approximately 8.3 million people (32% of the population) live in rental accommodation and must pay rental bonds every time they move. This can be a barrier for people to move to ensure their living conditions fit their current life circumstances. The bond is usually equivalent to four weeks' rent - and needs to be paid on top of rent in advance. Even if someone is working and earning a good wage, coming up with bond money - at a time when there are many additional expenses - can be a financial burden that many renters struggle with. Therefore, MyBond service can help tenants pay their rental bond, giving them control in the way they pay for and manage their rental bond payment.

Our campaign message

"One week only"

People move for all sorts of reasons such as moving closer to work, school, university, into a larger place to accommodate a growing family or to start a new life. But, moving house costs money and these expenses quickly add up.

With rental bonds running into the thousands on top of all the other moving expenses, this can be a barrier to people moving into new accommodation to suit their changing life circumstances. MyBond helps by cutting the cost of moving. As people's lives change, we want to be a part of their journey.

We support people to make a change, take control and we open up options for managing finances whilst moving houses. MyBond makes renters lives easier by disrupting the rental market, giving people flexibility and choice in how they pay and manage their rental bond and allowing someone to take control of where they want to live and when they want to live there.

MyBond supports people through their property journey - bringing flexibility and control to people during the often stressful process of finding a suitable property.

Our motto "one week only"means that people pay one weeks rent and MyBond takes care of the rest. Our vision is to be the preferred and trusted partner throughout a renter's life.
