### Tibber strengths

-   ✓ 10% service fee instead of 20%
-   ✓ Quarterly payout via Joulo
-   ✓ Registration continues if you leave Tibber

Watch-outs

-   \- Only for customers with a Tibber energy contract
-   \- After leaving Tibber, Joulo’s standard rate applies
-   \- Switching to another provider is only possible from 1 January; after an immediate termination nobody can book the rest of that year's kWh for that EAN

Watch-outs
