Australian fintech unicorn Zeller has launched in the UK, marking its first international expansion since its 2020 founding. The Melbourne-based business payment and financial solutions platform achieved a $1 billion valuation following a 2022 funding round. The UK expansion puts Zeller in competition with numerous legacy institutions, challenger banks and established fintechs. However, co-founder and CEO Ben Pfisterer claims to see opportunity in the market, citing unreliable and costly payment hardware from legacy providers, along with lengthy onboarding processes. "The UK is one of the world's most advanced fintech markets," said Pfisterer, noting the market is four times the size of Australia. The company aims to offer merchants a more affordable way to manage payments and business finances.

When you instruct your POS system to trigger a refund, your Zeller Terminal will prompt your customer to tap, insert, or swipe their card to receive it. This gives you flexibility to: - Refund payments that were not originally processed on Zeller Terminal The refund is processed straight back to the card presented, making things simpler for both you and your customers. Accept over-the-phone payments with your pos-integrated Zeller Terminal. Myzeller has made it easier for merchants using a point of sale system integrated via Linkly or Oracle Simphony to accept payments over the phone (also known as MOTO payments) with Zeller Terminal. Instead of requiring your customer to physically present their card, you can now manually enter card details when a sale is pushed from your POS to your Zeller Terminal. For merchants using a POS integrated via Linkly. * Start a sale in your POS system. * When the payment pushes to your Zeller Terminal and the standard Tap, insert or swipe card screen appears, tap the terminal screen to reveal the Enter Card Details button. * Manually key in the card details, and confirm the amount. The sale will automatically be closed and reconciled in your Linkly-integrated POS system. For merchants using Oracle Simphony POS. * Start a MOTO sale in your Oracle Simphony POS system. * On your Zeller Terminal, manually enter the card details and confirm the amount * The transaction result is automatically sent back to your POS - no extra reconciliation needed.
