Bill Winner, a platform powered by consumers has today, announced the launch of its Battle of the Bills in Home Insurance contest. It will see the home insurance community in Ireland shop together and cast their votes for the best value provider and brokers across the country. With each Battle of the Bills competition running every three months, the rolling contest is designed to empower consumers to make better informed decisions for home insurance providers in the year ahead. Bill Winner enables more effective bill management and cost-savings through creating a leaderboard (powered by the people of Ireland) around the best saving providers, brokers, and price comparison sites. It also provides an additional layer of transparency for consumers so that they can see whether they are overpaying and notifies them when service provider renewals are due.
The ‘Battle of the Bills’ campaign, which is about providing much-needed price transparency for bills in Ireland encourages people to shop around and vote for their winning businesses which are featured on a unique leaderboard. Users are incentivised to vote and share information with the platform as it will enable them to access other insights that are more relevant to them. For example, members can see the top rated home insurance businesses in their own county, draw price comparisons and avail of support from the community. The company also aims to tackle market misinformation and reward the service providers that offer the best value and service to their members by awarding them with badges which they can then display on their website i.e top voted provider for home insurance in Dublin Q1 2024. In addition to this, Bill Winner enables businesses to provide expert advice across a number of sectors, including broadband, mobile phone, energy, banking, with users being able to rate quality.
According to figures from The Central Bank, thousands of home insurance policy holders are paying over 32% above average on their premium. In addition to this, research from Power Reviews shows that in 2023, nearly three-quarters of consumers were researching purchases more than before due to the current economic climate.
Speaking about the launch of the ‘Battle of the Bills in Home Insurance’, Fiachra Comhrai, Co-founder at Bill Winner said:
“We are excited to launch our Battle of the Bills in home insurance contest for Q1 of this year and would like to call on members of the public to sign up to the community to cast their votes. Through this contest, we hope to finally provide consumers with the transparency they deserve and also empower them to make the right choices when it comes to service providers. With inflation showing no signs of slowing down, people need to be more aware of overpayments, subscriptions, renewal dates and more. Bill Winner aims to help users navigate an extremely turbulent landscape and help them to cut costs as best as they can through providing expert insights and matching them with the best options based on their search criteria.”
