Our take

Zeta have resolved a problem long plaguing banks and fintech startups. Antiquated practices mean product launches require working with a range of vendors and tech partners. The result is a time-consuming process with a potentially poor user experience to show for it. Zeta’s ‘Omni-Stack,’ by contrast, was built from the ground up to keep the process seamless and easy.

It has proven a wildly successful proposition and Zeta achieved Unicorn status on their $250 million Series C funding round, led by SoftBank. As sectors develop, fintechs and banking will need to answer new threats and requirements associated with security, privacy, and scalability. The more partners and vendors, the more room for error - so Zeta’s emergence is both timely and enticing.

Their funding is likely to continue apace for more than just the quality of their product. India is the second largest internet market globally and is seeing a flurry of interest from big-name investors like SoftBank and Tiger Global. Therefore, companies are looking to accelerate the rate of development there from promising startups like Zeta.
