Thredd partership news – London-based Thredd Renewal of its Partnership with Zilch

Jim McCarthy, Chief Executive Officer at Thredd said, “2024 continues to build on the robust foundation we established in 2023. Our clients, both new and old, are driving strong transaction growth, through a combination of market expansion and increasingly innovative financial services solutions, The expansion we have seen is a testament to their resilience and the demand for new payments use cases in both B2C and rapidly growing B2B payments.”

BNPL shows no signs of slowing. Since January 2022, Thredd’s clients in this space have seen transaction volumes grow by 175%, reflecting the growing importance of instalment payment options at the point of sale. Leading the way is Zilch, with whom Thredd has recently renewed, retaining the business in a hotly contested evaluation against larger US and European-based competitors.

Zilch, one of the world’s fastest growing BNPL providers and a true innovator in this space, offers consumers repayment optionality combined with cashback and rewards through a regulated and unique business model where they uniquely combine the world's $1 trillion dollar advertising with personal credit.
