FROM ONE BUSINESS OWNER TO MANY

Zil provides the best payment management platform for growing businesses. Built by a business owner to solve the payment challenges he faced, Zil’s technology enables business owners to spend less time managing payments and more time focused on what’s most important — growing their business.

OUR STORY

Zil was founded with a commitment to meeting the payment management needs of every business owner. We know the challenges growing businesses face in payment management, because our founder has experienced them firsthand.

As the owner of Tyler Petroleum, Zil founder and CEO Sabeer Nelli faced payment management challenges that led him to create his own software platform to overcome them. Today, that very same financial technology is the foundation of the Zil platform.

Over 600,000 business customers trust the Zil platform as their single solution for faster, bigger, easier, and cheaper payment management.
