Why does UW use partners instead of adverts?
UW grows by word of mouth. Local partners explain the service to people they know, because switching several bills at once feels like hard work and a trusted conversation makes it easier. UW has no shops and pays partners commission only on services customers actually use.
Evidence
UW had 77,200 partners in March 2026, up from 71,700 a year earlier. UW says advertising struggles to sell a switch of several bills at once, while a personal explanation from someone you trust succeeds.
