San Francisco based digital bank and credit card provider has raised $16m of venture financing from Eniac, NEA, Nyca, and Silicon Valley Bank.
Zerocard has four levels, namely Carbon, Magnesium, Graphite, and Quartz, which offers users cash back of 1% to 3% on purchases as well as additional rewards. In order to receive cash back and rewards of more than 1%, a user’s Zerocard balance needs to be completely paid on a monthly basis from deposits in a Zero account. Zero founder and CEO Bryce Galen said: “I started Zero because I was frustrated with the offerings from big banks. I was torn between using a debit card to stay on top of my spending and using a credit card to get rewards, and I wanted to manage my day-to-day finances from an app that’s easy to use, beautiful, and powerful. “Many other people shared my belief that banking could be far better and more rewarding, so I decided to start Zero.”
