Zero raises $8.5 million for a credit card that functions like a debit card

San Francisco based modern banking startup Zero has raised a $8.5m Series A led by Eniac Ventures.

The card hasn’t launched yet, but the startup claims they’ve added 150,000 people to the wait list, in part because of the incentives to refer new business. It’s set to launch in 2018. But this isn’t compatible with existing bank accounts. Instead, people will have to sign up for a new checking account with Zero and its undisclosed partner bank. Zero says that the bank it’s working with is FDIC-insured and Galen insists that it has “structured the product very carefully in order to be fully compliant with all rules and regulations.”
