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fintechs have long offered founders startup-friendly financial products, Australian entrepreneurs remain stuck with outdated banking designed exclusively for traditional businesses.A new Zeller survey of Australian startup founders highlights how broken traditional banking is for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 Banks force businesses into outdated processes that don’t match how tech startups actually operate.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
