Zeller, an Australian fintech company, has launched "Bill at Table," a solution aimed at helping restaurateurs increase table turnover and improve operational efficiency.
After gaining rapid traction with over 85,000 SMEs in the past 3.5 years, Zeller, the Australian fintech redefining business banking, has today added technology businesses to its focus with the announcement of Zeller for Startups — Australia’s first all-in-one financial solution enabling founders to launch and scale without the constraints of traditional banks and disconnected platforms.Traditional banking has failed Australia’s 90,000+ strong startup ecosystemFor decades, Australian startups have been forced to navigate a banking system never built for them — slow and arduous account setup involving physical paperwork, limited access to financing, and fragmented account reporting that don’t deliver a unified view of their overall financial position.While Silicon Valley fintechs have long offered founders startup-friendly financial products, Australian entrepreneurs remain stuck with outdated banking designed exclusively for traditional businesses.A new Zeller survey of Australian startup founders highlights how broken traditional banking is for tech founders:87% of founders cite financial management and banking as their biggest operational challenge — second only to fundraising (94%).85% of founders lack confidence in a traditional bank’s ability to support them during the setup and scaling phases.“Australia has built a thriving startup ecosystem, yet our banks still treat founders as risks rather than opportunities. Banks force businesses into outdated processes that don’t match how tech startups actually operate. That approach is no longer sustainable” said Ben Pfisterer, Zeller CEO and co-founder. “With our own experience launching five years ago, we quickly built and began using our own products to manage all of Zeller’s finances. We’ve optimised and tailored these products to deliver Zeller for Startups, enabling those founders who are where Zeller was years ago with an all-in-one financial solution designed to help them scale and succeed.Zeller’s research also showed the challenges tech founders still face in the operations of financial management — confirming that on average, startups have historically relied upon five disconnected platforms, on top of a business bank, to manage their finances.Australia’s first all-in-one financial solution for tech foundersDesigned for speed and simplicity, Zeller for Startups will deliver tech founders instant access to an all-in-one suite of financial tools they can use from one online account, removing the need for multiple providers, subscriptions, or expensive add-ons Business accounts with seamless digital onboarding, enabling founders to open an account in 60% fewer clicks than with traditional banks.Unlimited digital or physical debit card issuance for instant spending.High-interest savings accounts offering an ongoing 3.2% p.a. standard variable rate, maximising the return on capital saved while enabling instant access to funds.Purpose-built expense management seamlessly integrated within the Zeller Dashboard, enabling real-time visibility over employee, team, or project spending.Exclusive founder benefits, including discounts on popular startup software and technology services including Employment Hero, Xero, and Pop Business.“Everything about how companies operate has changed, but the banks have not

In addition, the new Zeller POS Lite – a free, customisable point-of-sale app built-in to Zeller Terminal 2, enables businesses to manage inventory and track sales without the need for costly hardware or signing agreements with multiple providers.The new Zeller Terminal 2 offers premium design and unparalleled customisation at an affordable price point, setting a new benchmark in payments and POS technology to exceed outdated hardware offered by local and global providers and incumbent banks.Zeller Terminal 2 not only includes a free, built-in point-of-sale app enabling businesses to create items, apply discounts, track inventory, send itemised receipts, and manage their entire sales operations directly from the terminal, but also integrates seamlessly with over 600 third-party POS platforms.In a commitment to reducing the environmental cost of paper receipts, Zeller Terminal 2 supports email, SMS, and a new downloadable QR code receipts, having eliminated the traditional receipt printer. The terminal also delivers enhanced security for merchants and cardholders by prioritising acceptance of more secure payment methods such as EMV chip cards, contactless cards, and mobile wallet, having removed the traditional magstripe card reader— reducing the risk of credit card fraud, which the ABS estimates impacts over 1.8 million Australian annually.Zeller Terminal 2 was designed and engineered in Melbourne, with a unique hardware format never before seen in traditional EFTPOS terminals.

James Vatiliotis, Head of Product at Zeller, shares his insights on the innovation we can expect to see in payment technology over the next 12 months.In the past year, Australia’s payment sector has been transformed by the launch of Tap to Pay technology. Untethering payments from the traditional EFTPOS terminal and putting them in the hands of any individual with a smartphone has revolutionised what we’ve come to expect of the payment experience. Now with the rapid expansion of AI and machine learning, the pressure of security breaches, and the growing obsolescence of cash and printed receipts: there’s more innovation coming in the payments space.More customers choosing a bank alternative.The shift away from cash has accelerated significantly, with cash representing less than 14% of total transactions today according to the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA). For businesses, this means the choice of financial services and payments provider has never been more important. With the incumbent banks no longer dominating the market with one generic offering, businesses have the choice of a growing number of digital banking alternatives, enabling them to shop around for a solution that offers greater flexibility, affordability, and functionality.From the pricing of payments technology to how it integrates with other systems, how it mitigates security risks, and what features it offers (think surcharging, bill-splitting, tipping, customisable screensavers, digital receipts, and more), there is no longer a one-size-fits all solution when it comes to business banking. Additionally, with very few customers nowadays carrying cash as a back-up payment option, the reliability of the payments hardware and the quality of your provider’s customer support have become paramount
