Zilch is a lesser known player in the Buy Now, Pay Later space but believes their service offers key differentiators over competitors like AfterPay and Klarna.
Despite the competition, Belamant said his Zilch's business model will allow the company to stand out in the long term.
This is because users on Zilch can choose any retailer they want to buy from and "circumvent this network" by accessing a larger number of stores, Belamant said. So, in effect, the company can "grow significantly faster" because "we go direct to the customer ... and allow the customer to pay over time anywhere they like for anything," he added.
It appears Zilch has been growing quickly, passing the 3 Million user mile stone in November.
London, 02 November 2022: Zilch, the world’s first Commerce Card, today announces it has raced past the 3 million customer milestone – outpacing fintech heavyweights like Revolut, Starling Bank and N26. Zilch’s direct-to-consumer approach continues to outperform the market showing significantly stronger levels of customer engagement and unit economics.
Zilch’s unique Ad-Subsidised-Payments-Network generates advertising revenue each time its customers spend, which it passes on to them in the form of free credit, savings, deals and discounts. This unique approach has resulted in record-breaking customer growth and a profitable product proposition.
While eBay has recently been making moves to expand their BNPL options, such as introducing Zip Pay in Australia, these types of payment methods are also receiving increasing scrutiny from regulators across the world and could be headed for a crackdown that would see them subjected to stricter consumer protection standard more in line with traditional credit card and financial companies.
