Discovery Bank has announced a partnership with Rubicon to provide its clients with access to high-quality solar and backup power services for their homes.
Hylton Kallner, the visionary CEO of Discovery Bank, highlights the pressing need for alternative power solutions, stating, “While South Africans are resilient, the increased and ongoing interruption of electricity impacts all aspects of our lives and drives a need to find alternative ways to power our homes. We’re pleased to launch a financing solution that enables our clients to embrace solar, with the help of an excellent partner in Rubicon.”
The Discovery Bank-Rubicon partnership is built on three key pillars:
- Quality: With Rubicon’s extensive knowledge and experience in power solutions, the collaboration has created a comprehensive end-to-end service that ensures clients receive only the highest quality products and installation. Backed by Rubicon’s strong track record, clients can trust the reliability and durability of their solar solutions.
- Service and Support: From the initial consultation to guaranteed installation within three weeks and post-installation service, Discovery Bank clients can expect a hassle-free and straightforward experience. The partnership offers an intuitive online calculator, enabling clients to receive instant quotes tailored to their specific energy needs. To guide clients through the selection process, dedicated Rubicon Energy Advisors will provide expert recommendations for each unique home.
- Funding Flexibility: Discovery Bank recognizes that each client’s financial situation is unique. Consequently, the bank has developed flexible funding options, providing clients with the freedom to choose from a dedicated solar budget facility. With interest rates from prime -2% over 72 months, Discovery Bank ensures affordability and financial peace of mind for its clients.
The solar offering has initially been launched to select clients, with plans to expand availability over the coming weeks. Notably, Discovery Bank’s model allows clients to own their solar assets, offering a wider variety of products to choose from without additional or hidden costs. Furthermore, clients can benefit from tax deductions, enhancing the overall value proposition.
Rick Basson, CEO of Rubicon, expresses enthusiasm for the partnership, stating, “We are thrilled to partner with a fellow proudly South African company that shares our commitment to a sustainable future. By joining forces, we are poised to offer Discovery Bank clients access to cutting-edge solar solutions with highly competitive finance options. With Rubicon’s long and trusted record in the solar energy industry, we are confident that together we can accelerate the race to net zero and energy security.”
