Cashrewards – the next category killer
In this second interview, Gary Rollo and Bernard Wilson Chief Executive Officer of Cashrewards discuss the unit economics and the growth strategy post the company’s IPO.
The Cashrewards business has a really clear formula – you invest to acquire customers for a relatively certain return which fuels growth for merchants as well as the Cashrewards business.
Growth in monthly active users has jumped from 15 per cent in FY20 to 31 per cent in July, 42 per cent in August and 64 per cent in September.
“The foundation of the unit economics of the business is the opportunity to scale the customer base and leverage that scale to drive the flywheel which will increase the numbers of transactions on the platform per customer.” Bernard Wilson

Thanks Gary but when will they start making a profit so they can be valued in some way and what percentage do they take per transaction value? Ken.

Thanks for your comment. CRW are one of our early stage type investments, we think profitability is 2 to 3 years out. But much will depend on the success or otherwise of growing the scale of their subscriber base and how they manage to lift, or otherwise, the spend per subscriber within that base. We think they have enough resources and management capability to demonstrate an outcome against those criteria. G
