One Click Group smashes 250,000 user milestone as growth accelerates 1,000%
One Click Group (ASX: 1CG) has achieved the 250,000 users milestone on its One Click Life fintech platform during March 2026. The timing is particularly notable, as the March quarter traditionally represents the quietest period for tax-focused platforms.
Year-to-date user acquisition on the platform is up over 1,000% compared to the same time last year, suggesting the company’s platform diversification strategy is generating demand beyond the seasonal tax cycle.
Managing Director Mark Waller noted the company was experiencing a busier start to 2026 than anticipated, with strong growth in user numbers building significant revenue opportunities across multiple product lines.

Why user growth matters for fintech revenue
In fintech business models, registered users represent a monetisation opportunity. As the user base expands, so does the potential for cross-selling products across tax services, lending, insurance, and estate planning.
One Click Group has historically demonstrated a correlation between user growth and revenue growth, with increases in users leading to revenue expansion over time.
The company’s performance data shows this relationship clearly across calendar years 2021 to 2025. While the source announcement does not provide exact figures from the chart, it confirms that user growth has traditionally served as a reliable lead indicator for revenue performance.
| Metric | Relationship |
|---|---|
| User Growth Pattern | Increases over time correlate with revenue expansion |
| Revenue Trajectory | Follows user base growth with temporal lag |
| Current Milestone | 250,000 registered users (March 2026) |
| YoY Acquisition Growth | Over 1,000% increase vs same period prior year |
The historical correlation between user growth and revenue provides investors with a forward-looking indicator. Current user momentum may foreshadow revenue performance in coming quarters, particularly as the platform approaches the peak tax season period from April to June.
Platform expansion drives demand beyond tax season
The One Click Life platform has evolved from a tax-only service into a broader financial services ecosystem. This expansion explains why the company is experiencing strong user growth during what would normally be its slowest quarter.
The platform currently offers:
- Tax returns
- Tax refund advance
- Cash advance and lending products
- Online wills
- Private health insurance
Additional products are planned for future release, with the platform aiming to become a comprehensive solution for Australians managing financial life administration across tax, wills, insurance, mortgages, investing, and other services.
Product diversification creates multiple revenue streams and reduces reliance on the seasonal tax return cycle. Users engaging with non-tax products during the March quarter demonstrates that the platform is successfully generating demand outside traditional peak periods, potentially smoothing cash flows across the year.
Lower-cost acquisition channels delivering scale
The company’s acquisition strategy has shifted toward combining organic growth channels with paid marketing. According to Managing Director Mark Waller, this approach is “resulting in bigger, lower-cost growth in 2026.”
Investment in organic growth channels is combining with paid channels for new user acquisition, with the company running at over 10x user acquisition compared to the same time last year. Efficient customer acquisition improves unit economics and supports margin expansion as the business scales, a critical factor for fintech platforms transitioning from growth-focused models to sustainable profitability.
Building on 2025’s first underlying EBITDA profit
One Click Group achieved its first underlying EBITDA profit in calendar year 2025. The current user momentum positions the company to build on this profitability milestone throughout 2026.
Mark Waller, Managing Director
“This strong growth in user numbers early in the year is building a significant revenue opportunity for our Tax products as well as our tax refund advance and cash advance products. Our investment in organic growth channels historically is combining well with our paid channels for new user acquisition resulting in bigger, lower-cost growth in 2026. To be running at over 10x our acquisition this time last year is setting us up for another fantastic year following our first underlying EBITDA profit in 2025.”
The transition to EBITDA profitability in 2025, combined with accelerating user growth, suggests One Click Group may be entering a phase of sustainable profitability rather than growth-at-all-costs. The 250,000 users milestone provides a larger base for monetisation across the expanded product suite.

What to watch next
The user base is now in place. Execution on monetisation and product expansion will determine whether the One Click Group 250,000 users milestone translates into shareholder returns. Investors should monitor:
-
Conversion rates from registered users to paying customers across each product line, particularly for newer offerings beyond tax services.
-
Revenue performance in Q4 FY26 (April to June) as tax season ramps up, which will test whether the expanded user base converts to proportional revenue growth.
-
New product launches and their uptake rates, as the platform continues expanding beyond its core tax competency.
-
Continued progress toward full-year EBITDA profitability, building on the 2025 milestone.
The company’s ability to maintain lower-cost acquisition while scaling users will be critical for margin preservation. With user acquisition running at over 10x the same period last year during the traditionally quiet March quarter, the upcoming tax season will provide the first major test of whether platform diversification has fundamentally changed One Click Group’s revenue seasonality profile.
