About
Zilch is a UK-based consumer payments fintech that offers a buy now, pay later (BNPL) solution integrated with Mastercard, enabling users to pay at virtually any online retailer — not just those with explicit BNPL checkout partnerships. Founded by Philip Belamant and headquartered in London, Zilch's model allows customers to split purchases over four interest-free installments, pay in full, or earn cashback on single-payment transactions. This Mastercard-backed approach gives Zilch ubiquitous acceptance, differentiating it from BNPL competitors that require direct merchant integrations.
