In the fast-paced world of business, managing payments efficiently is a challenge that many entrepreneurs face daily. For Sabeer Nelli, the founder and CEO of Zil Money, it became a personal one. Having over 200 employees and numerous vendors, he gained valuable experience in payment management as the owner of Tyler Petroleum. Instead of having to formulate unambitious conventional strategies, Nelli embarked on a transformative approach. This led to the creation of Zil Money; a financial technology platform that has now transformed the payment management field for different companies in the US.
A Vision Born from Real Challenges
Zil Money was not created out of the blue in a board meeting but it evolved when the business was already on the rise. Furthermore, while trying to make payments for his own firm, Nelli came to understand that there were no sufficient systems to support diverse business needs. He created a platform specifically for the kind of operational requirements that annoyed him, such as handling payroll, paying his vendors and managing cash flow.
Originally, it was created for intrapreneurial needs back in 2012, and it did not take long before people appreciated its functionality. Understanding the potential of an ability to solve numerous and pressing issues, Nelli took a risk to develop and launch the platform further. Starting as a means to help one company navigate the challenges it found itself in, it grew to become a light for so many businesses who otherwise could not find their way out of the problems that dogged them.
From Humble Beginnings to Global Impact
The story of Zil Money is actually quite a very unique one. Therefore, by 2017, the platform had diversified from an internal tool to a beta version in the SMB and enterprise markets. A year later, Zil Money was born, allowing more features such as connection with top accounting software plus the ability to work with more than 22,000 banks in the US and Canada.
By 2019, the platform had attracted over 130,000 customers and earned recognition as the one of the best payment software. This growth persevered day by day and the dynamic spirit for innovation and customer appeal worldwide facilitated their development.
A Timeline of Milestones

Empowering Entrepreneurs Through Innovation
The way Zil Money has positioned itself uniquely among all these competing parties is this – it remained customer obsessed in the same way as it is business obsessed, but more specifically, it remained obsessed with enabling business owners. Through the payment processes being well taken care of, the platform allows business owners to focus on growing their businesses without worrying about petty tasks. Customer oriented attributes such as ACH transactions, credit card payments and integration with other functionalities as accounting software, are other evident attributes of its highly customer friendly nature.
In addition, FDIC-member banks’ business banking partnerships such as Silicon Valley Bank and Texas National Bank deliver sound and safe solutions with Zil Money. Such cooperation makes sure that even though it is not a bank, Zil Money provides an experience closest to banking for current and tomorrow’s business leaders.
