Accel joins existing investors Valar Ventures and notable angels including Immad Akhund and Dalton Caldwell, bringing Zed\u2019s total funding to $22.5 million.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>AI-Native Banking For a New Generation<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Zed is solving a problem that millions of young Filipino professionals face: a banking system stuck in the past. Despite having college degrees, stable incomes and professional careers, many young people are rejected by traditional banks due to&nbsp;credit factors embedded in their credit score that don&#8217;t actually reflect their risk \u2013 like the age of their existing credit accounts. This leaves a huge segment of potentially prime customers unserved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Zed removes these barriers by using Artificial Intelligence (AI) to underwrite customers based on current income, transaction data, and other data sources outside of just traditional credit scores. The result is a premium credit card optimized for how young people spend today:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Global Travel:<\/strong> Zero FX fees or markup, making it the most cost-effective way to spend internationally.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Smart Security:<\/strong> Unlimited virtual cards with custom spend limits, and auto-closure settings (e.g. single-use or 24-hour cards) for safer online shopping.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>P2P on Credit:<\/strong> The ability to split bills and send money seamlessly, settling later with the monthly statement.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Backed by the Best&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The round is led by Accel, a firm with a decades-long track record of identifying global category leaders early. The investment validates Zed\u2019s ambition to harness AI in serving the vast, credit-worthy population that has been shut out of the global banking system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIn leading Zed\u2019s Series A, we\u2019re backing a team with the skill and ambition to build AI-powered finance that\u2019s transparent, personal, and accessible for customers overlooked by today\u2019s banks worldwide,\u201d said Nafis Jamal, Partner at Accel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Jamal added, \u201cYoung adults navigating the banking system for the first time often find its doors mostly shut. Opaque fees, clunky apps, and impersonal interactions make it clear these institutions were built for a different era (and a different customer).\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Explosive Growth and Future Plans<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Zed has seen massive demand since its invite-only launch. Strictly through word of mouth, the waitlist has swelled to nearly 200,000 sign-ups. Since the beginning of the year, the customer base has grown 10x and transaction volume has surged ~500%\u2014all while the vast majority of the waitlist has yet to be invited.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With this new funding, Zed is accelerating its rollout to the waitlist and scaling its team. The company is actively hiring for Operations, Risk, Growth, and Support roles in Manila, as well as Product, Design, Data Science and Engineering roles in San Francisco.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re reimagining financial tools to match the speed and ambition of this generation,\u201d said Danielle Cojuangco Abraham, Co-Founder of Zed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cBanks in Southeast Asia are running on infrastructure designed for two decades ago,\u201d added Steve Abraham, Co-Founder. \u201cThis round accelerates our plan to rebuild that stack.&nbsp;The world is changing with large language models maturing, and a new generation of experiences across industries will be born.&nbsp;We envision a future where we can deliver a level of personal, proactive banking that used to be reserved for the few, and make it accessible to everyone.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-vertical is-layout-flex wp-container-core-group-is-layout-8cf370e7 wp-block-group-is-layout-flex\">\n<p><strong>Join the Revolution&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sign up at<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/preciouscomms-dot-yamm-track.appspot.com\/29g-qnyi0jzwal9CbPsaajYpzHhCf6Sf6i665iaM0F2n37GcRmwE_Y_LXHcf0wEC7ZsYwnGKdnq8qx5k88M0IKQaDthkdUbGOsdkM3xHWRMwGULbF-BdT7FDTJJ3i3VgmzT8UEVTcp7WvEf43WgIKUXfTD8SRbjqn_0BDwyhp-wRmGlDKrbUaKw\">&nbsp;waitlist.zed.co<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Reach out for career opportunities at&nbsp;<a href=\"mailto:careers@zed.co\">careers@zed.co<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>MANILA, Philippines, December 12, 2025 \u2013&nbsp;Zed, the credit card startup reinventing banking for the next generation of Filipinos, today announced [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":68218,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[2730],"tags":[11821],"class_list":["post-68217","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-lifestyle","tag-zed"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v22.2 -
