About Zip Co Ltd
Zip Co Ltd is a global leader in buy-now-pay-later (BNPL) services, providing fast, flexible payment solutions to consumers and merchants. Founded in 2013 and headquartered in Sydney, the promise of Zip for merchants is that those merchants can gain revenue that it otherwise wouldn’t have, and consumers can buy things on credit, but without interest. In 1H25, it had 6.2m active customers and $6.2bn in Total Transaction Value.
Zip Co Ltd History
Zip Co was founded in 2013 by Larry Diamond and Peter Gray, driven by the vision of revolutionising how people access credit and manage payments. Initially targeting the Australian market, Zip quickly expanded across New Zealand and into international markets, including the United Kingdom and the United States. Major milestones include its listing on the Australian Stock Exchange (ASX) in 2016, which accelerated its growth. Through strategic acquisitions, such as the purchase of the U.S.-based BNPL provider QuadPay in 2020, Zip solidified its presence in key global markets. Post-pandemic, the company faced a fight for survival as investors turned from non-profitable companies and several other competitors fell over. But Zip survived the ‘cash crunch’ by exiting non-profitable markets. Today, Zip is one of the leading BNPL providers globally, continually innovating to enhance its product offerings and maintain a competitive edge.

Future Outlook of Zip Co Ltd (ASX: ZIP)
Zip’s future outlook is shaped by a combination of market trends, financial performance, and strategic initiatives designed to sustain its growth. It is in good shape as one of the largest players in the market, and it still faces a major opportunity. Zip claims to have penetrated <2% of total payments and 5% of e-commerce in the US and just 15% of e-commerce in Australia. But it purports to have a total BNPL market of US$130bn in the US alone, but it only has a share of US$5.1bn right now. Challenges for the company will be maintaining profitability, consumer sentiment and ensuring that it is not regulated like conventional forms of credit.
