Salary benchmarks
Our take
As a society, a disposable phone culture has developed which is both expensive and harmful to the environment, but Raylo is offering a more sustainable alternative. Through its platform, consumers can lease new and refurbished devices like phones and laptops, paying a monthly fee for the length of the contract.
Raylo sets itself apart through low monthly charges. This is significant as, despite consumers’ increasing reliance on electronic devices, research from Ofcom indicated many consumers struggle with the affordability of mobile phones. The circularity which Raylo's premise is built on is also essential, to reduce the overproduction of devices and the resulting waste as the world shifts towards more sustainable practices.
In 2022, Raylo cemented its status as an actor for good with its recognition as a B-Corporation. The company has also netted considerable funds, that will enable it to expand operations, with plans to grow its direct-to-consumer channel as well as checkout integration for merchants.
