MIAMI, April 11, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Shyft, the fintech-powered marketplace reinventing the global moving industry, today announced it has launched an agreement to provide an exclusive discount to AARP's nearly 38 million members using Shyft's proprietary platform.

Under the agreement, Shyft will exclusively provide AARP members who are moving homes or apartments with savings up to $250 on moving services through Shyft's proprietary end-to-end moving platform.

Shyft customers, including AARP members can work with a Shyft "Move Coach," who will help manage the customer's move, and will have access to move insurance along with multiple financing options.
