About Zed

https://zed.co

Zed delivers honest, customer-first financial products that unlock wealth creation for the next generation. We’re starting with helping young professionals in Southeast Asia access credit responsibly and build habits for long-term financial success.

This is an exciting opportunity to join an early-stage team on a mission to fix a broken banking system that has shut out the world's youngest and fastest-growing consumer class. We are a BSP supervised financial institution and are currently operating in a private Beta.

We are proud to be backed by global fintech venture fund, Valar, and leading fintech operators from Nubank, Square, Cred and Mercury among others. We work remotely and out of our San Francisco and Manila offices.

Co-Founders

Danielle Cojuangco Abraham and Steve Abraham

We're former YCombinator founders and Stanford Engineers who built and sold our last payments startup in the US (Symple YC W'17). We also have deep ties to the banking industry in the region.
