Our take

Transfer agencies are organisations that manage the change in ownership of a company, keeping record of who owns their stocks and bonds. ZILO supplies software for these agencies to optimise their operations, delivered in an all-in-one package.

Designed to replace legacy record-keeping systems, ZILO's platform covers all aspects of a transfer agency's day-to-day, from registry to reconciliation to reporting. By integrating all these needs, it boasts the ability to replace disparate alternatives, which should make it a valuable option in the space.

Highlighting this potential is a $27M Series A funding round obtained in 2024, co-led by FISV and Portage. With this fresh investment, ZILO is ready to accelerate product development, expand into new markets and pursue strategic partnerships through which it hopes to broaden its offering.
