Summary Generated by Built In
We believe that businesses of all sizes deserve better financial and payment products and services. Traditionally, businesses of all sizes are let down by slow applications, protracted onboarding, opaque pricing, restrictive contracts and forced to use outdated solutions that no longer meet the innovative requirements of modern business.
We started our journey four years ago, and have since helped tens of thousands of Australian businesses reduce the complexity and time taken to take and make payments, manage complex fleets of payment hardware, store and save money and lead the conversation in business-to-business fintech. We’re now taking our next steps in expanding our industry and world leading capabilities into the United Kingdom.
Our company is backed by leading global VCs, and brings together experienced payment and tech industry professionals who are aiming to redefine business banking and the way businesses get paid by their customers.
If you are passionate, curious, hungry and seeking an opportunity to make your mark on Fintech in the United Kingdom, with the strength of a global team behind you - we’d love to talk to you. This is a unique opportunity to shape, direct and build better financial services for all UK businesses.
Zeller is searching for the founding members of our UK-based sales team. As an Account Executive, you’ll be challenged to bring a hands-on approach, expert commercial acumen, self-starter experience, and competitive fire to help build a high-performing team culture.
We believe that building a long-lasting relationship is Zeller’s key to success. You’ll do this by engaging with merchants in a relevant and authentic way.

The Company
What We Do
Accepting payments, managing your finances, and paying recipients should be simple. Unfortunately, this isn’t always the case. Finding integrated financial solutions to help your business thrive often requires you to weave together multiple products from different providers. While a small group of large enterprises enjoy the privilege of financial solutions tailored for their specific needs, the vast majority of Australian businesses are underserved due to a lack of innovation, disparate providers, opaque pricing, and restrictive contracts. We believe in a level playing field where all businesses benefit from access to smarter payments technology and integrated financial services that enables them to accelerate their cash flow. So we’re hard at work building the tools to make it happen. Zeller is one solution for all of your business finances. From EFTPOS payments to online invoicing, accounts and cards, it's everything you expect from a business bank, but better.
