This collaboration brings a unique opportunity for ACT members to expand their revenue streams by offering rental options to customers both in-store and online.

Renticy

Revolutionising the Cycle Retail Industry:

As consumers increasingly seek sustainable and flexible shopping experiences, Renticy
is at the forefront of this shift, empowering retailers to rent out their stock with ease. Our
platform simplifies payments and inventory management while ensuring retailers are
protected from damage or non-return through our comprehensive Renticy Protect
guarantee.

James Bradley, Commercial Director at Renticy, comments on the partnership:

"This collaboration aligns with our growth strategy, offering ACT members exclusive
benefits that enable them to explore new revenue opportunities through rental services.
We're thrilled to work with an organisation as influential as ACT, and we believe this
partnership will provide tremendous value to cycle retailers across the UK."

Leon Mepham – ACT Membership & Services Manager:

"We’re excited to announce our partnership with Renticy. We believe the partnership will help our members unlock new revenue streams in their businesses. In a world full of tech solutions, Renticy is one that can save time, create revenue, protect the users while providing a sustainable solution. I’m sure many of our members will find the ‘no risk trial’ worth giving a go."

Unlocking the Power of Rentals:

Renticy is designed to help retailers maximise their inventory's potential, providing a
rental service that can increase revenue by up to five times compared to a standard
sale. Whether it's for new, used, or refurbished products, retailers can seamlessly
integrate rental options into their existing business model, meeting the growing demand
for sustainable consumer choices.

The platform handles every aspect of the rental process—from fraud screening and
contract setup to payment collection—making it an all-in-one solution for retailers. The
addition of Renticy Protect means retailers can feel confident, knowing they are fully covered in case of any product damage or non-return.

Exclusive Offer for ACT Members:

As part of the partnership, ACT members will enjoy a 12-month FREE trial of Renticy,
offering a no-risk opportunity to explore the benefits of rentals for their business. This
exclusive offer provides access to Renticy’s platform, enabling cycle retailers to
generate new revenue streams and better utilise their inventory without upfront costs.
