CIO - Zilch Technologies London, UK

"Notchup is the right place where we can get the right mix of talent, certifications & compliance - all in one place.”

The Company

With an ambitious goal to change the payments sector, particularly in the "Buy Now, Pay Later" (BNPL) arena, Philip Belamant founded Zilch at the beginning of 2018. BNPL enables customers to spread payments for online purchases over time. As a payment option for online customers, e-commerce companies frequently provide this on their checkout page.

How we achieved this

Challenge

Philip and the Zilch team recognized the enormous potential for developing a competitive BNPL solution in the payments sector. However, the challenge was to:

  • Find a tech team to take over the job immediately
  • Build a scalable tech team within the specified budget
  • Recognize the gaps in the product and address it before delivery
  • Find a partner to manage the team for the entire product cycle

Zilch had a ruggedly ambitious goal of building and launching an MVP of the app in one month. Anything longer than that was essentially a gamble in terms of the survival of the company. Then came the turning point, when Philip and his team were introduced to Notchup.

Approach

After understanding the requirements, Notchup instantly sprang to action by:

  • Putting up an elastic, expert tech team of professionals
  • Identified user needs, and chart roadmaps for scaling
  • Delivery of MVP within a month of putting up the team
  • Allocate global tech talents to meet up with the project requirements

Since launching their app in 2018, Zilch has become a unicorn in the fintech space, securing numerous rounds of funding (attracting investors such as Goldman Sachs and DMG Ventures), and continuing to grow at an ever-increasing rate.

To this day, Notchup has been a key partner as Zilch continues to scale.
