Job description

Job Description :

Lack of Awareness: Many consumers, especially those in Tier 3/4 cities, are unaware of how to improve their CIBIL score and the credit solutions available for the same.

At ZET, we believe that passion fuels those who shape the world. Our team is on a mission to make a real impact by driving financial inclusion and accessibility across Bharat. With over 400 million online users in underserved regions, we are building an ecosystem that connects consumers to trusted financial solutions that were once out of reach. Empowered by technology and trust, we are making financial services more affordable and within reach for the next billion Indians.

Through ZET (our B2C platform), we focus on empowering individuals, especially those new to credit (NTC) or with low credit scores, to build and improve their score. One of our key offerings is the SBM ZETCredit Card, co-branded with SBM. The card plays a pivotal role in helping users from Tier 2, 3, and 4 cities boost their credit scores. By providing insights & solutions into their creditworthiness, consumers are empowered to make informed financial decisions, unlocking opportunities for loans, mortgages, and greater financial stability.

On our ZET Partner (B2B) platform, we connect communities in Tier 3 and 4 cities to a wide network of financial brands and credit products. By leveraging a trusted network of agents, we bridge the gap between consumers and top banks, making financial services more accessible and tailored to the specific needs of these underserved markets.

Raising $13M in our Series A funding in March 2022, we are proud to be backed by General Catalyst, Nexus, Sequoia Surge, Waterbridge and other leading Angel Investors. Starting with only two team members in 2019, we are now a workforce of 100+ high-spirited individuals diligently striving to enable fintech for Bharat.

Reaching Bharat: Consumers in Tier 2, 3, & 4 cities struggle to access essential financial services due to limited reach and availability of financial institutions and banks.

Trust: The trust deficit in rural areas hinders the adoption of modern fintech solutions, creating barriers to financial inclusion
