Salary benchmarks
Our take
Zilch provides a buy-now-pay-later (BNPL) product that allows customers to purchase their desired items and pay in instalments for them. According to Zilch, its service helps customers save over £350 per year on interest and fees.
Having received consumer credit authorisation from the FCA, Zilch partnered with Mastercard to ensure its users can enjoy the safety provided by the global payments company while shopping online. Its business model involves providing the service for free to customers and charging partner stores a fee for every purchase made with Zilch. If users are not buying from partner stores, Zilch charges users a fee but guarantees that they will know from the beginning exactly how much they need to repay, hence assuring users they will not have to pay hidden fees.
With soaring demand for BNPL services, Zilch's main priority is to capitalise on this opportunity. As part of this initiative, the company has maintained an impressive funding strategy. After a series of successful raises, Zilch is now valued at around $2 billion. This has lent the company considerable weight, helping to accelerate its expansion of efforts in existing markets and expand into new ones such as the US.
