Today we were proud to be invited to 10 Downing Street. Our CEO & Co-Founder, Philip Belamant and CCO Ryan M. had the pleasure of discussing the remarkable growth story of Zilch with the Prime Minister’s team. Together, we explored how the right policies in #capitalmarkets can rocket fuel the UK’s leading #fintech sector, propelling economic growth and jobs across the nation. As a UK-born and rapidly scaling company, #Zilch is proud to have co-founded and to also co-chair the market first Unicorn Council for UK FinTech #UCFT alongside Innovate Finance Revolut and ClearBank. Together, with other visionary CEOs of the UK’s most valuable late stage high growth companies, we’re charting a path to help unlock a £50 billion plus wave of future IPOs. #Growth #InnovateFinance #10DowningStreet

Earlier this month we hosted our third #ZilchMeets series, welcoming senior attendees from Rakuten, Tradedoubler, impact.com, MG OMD, Scale Digital, Silverbean, Acceleration Partners, and Partnerize. We proudly highlighted our transformative role in affiliate marketing, driving billions in new commerce and enriching the lives of consumers.

We’ve reached a major milestone this quarter. In just four years since our launch, we have achieved our first month of operating profit while surpassing a revenue run rate of more than $130 million (£100 million). The speed at which Zilch achieved profitability places it in the same bracket as European fintech giants such as Revolut, Starling Bank, and Monzo Bank. All four companies also reported revenues in excess of $130 million within three to five years. By comparison, industry data shows that it takes the average tech company 8-10 years in the US and 15-17 years in the EU and UK to break through the $100 million revenue ceiling. We also announce the appointment of Mark Wilson, former CEO of Aviva and AIA and current member of BlackRock’s main Board of Directors, to our Zilch Board. His expertise will be critical as we continue to scale and innovate. A huge thank you to everyone following and being part of our journey. We’re so glad to have each and every one of you with us.

Last month, we spent an incredible 3 days at Credit Strategy’s Credit Week, packed with insightful discussions on genAI, ML, vulnerability, fighting fraud, regulation, and alternative data. It was rewarding to be part of the conference and contribute to the conversations actively shaping the future of innovation in finance 🚀 Our team had some standout moments with two impactful panels: Opening the conference, our CCO, Ryan M., was invited to take part in the conference's opening panel titled "How Could the Regulatory Environment Change Post General Election?" with Emma Lovell, CEO of Lending Standards Board, Jonathan Staward Prof. PgDip (GRC), CRO and CCO of Equifax, Jeremy Miles, Minister for the Economy & Energy - Welsh Government, and Chris Leslie, Board Member of FENCA - Federation of European National Collection Associations. Chaired by Ian King of Sky News, Ryan discussed growth opportunities the new Government will inherit and Zilch's role in this growth. Notably, Zilch and Innovate Finance co-founding the Unicorn Council for UK FinTech (#UCFT) – a market-first £50 billion collective of CEOs providing the vital recommendations for government and policymakers to pioneer growth in the areas of capital markets, taxation, and regulation. Closing the conference, our Chief Risk Officer, Desmond McNamara, joined a powerful panel with Samantha Fogerty, COO of Payl8r, and Alice Tapper, Advisory Board member of Plend | B Corp, "Will BNPL Survive Regulation?”. Chaired by Amy Assad of Credit Strategy, the discussion emphasised the critical role of regulation and Zilch’s commitment to driving innovation and responsible, ethical lending.
