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.

"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."

contract setup to payment collection—making it an all-in-one solution for retailers. The

Exclusive Offer for ACT Members:

As part of the partnership, ACT members will enjoy a 12-month FREE trial of Renticy,

exclusive offer provides access to Renticy’s platform, enabling cycle retailers to
generate new revenue streams and better utilise their inventory without upfront costs.
