As Zeux look ahead to 2019, we’d like to take a moment and reflect on our progress as a start-up and what we’ve achieved in 2018. So, this month we’re dedicating our December update to a summary on the year gone by. Enjoy!

Building a great team

Like all companies “our people are our greatest asset” and in 2018 we built a great team and tapped into some of the best talent in our industry. Meet our core team — our Founder and CEO, our COO and Head of Marketing, our CTO and our CFO — and discover what gave them that leap of faith to join a start-up.

As a nimble fintech, our core team need to move at pace. While they’re busy running the day-to-day, Zeux is lucky enough to have some of the greatest business and thought leaders in our industry advise us. Meet our team of Advisors and understand what excites them the most about Zeux as we launch this year.

Finally, some of our team, and extended team, were interviewed by The Fintech Times and asked to explain their views and experiences on Zeux. The interviews were filmed, and you can check out the final product here on YouTube.

From prototype to product

Creating a new product is exciting and we embraced every moment — from the early stages of developing right through to what we have now. First, we developed the UX, Design and prototype and then, by joining all the technical dots together, we landed with something amazing. Our product has an instant virtual card that can be used with Apple Pay and Samsung Pay, it tracks spending and looks at a range of investment products. Oh and it enables peer to peer transfers too! Zeux has come so far in less than a year.

You still have time to be one of the first to sign up for early access at www.zeux.com before we launch.

Establishing fantastic partnerships and collaborations

So we can create the very best product for our customers, in 2018 we forged new partnership and collaborations with a number of companies. Last year, we established alliances with:

Modulr, Wirecard, Cornercard, Cobinhood to name a few and we also joined forces with Hedera to list their hbar tokens so token holders can use Zeux for POS payments.

Taking our product out to the world

In 2018, we travelled the world and took our product to customers in three different continents. We kick-off our roadshow in Singapore and attended Consensus, and event that was attended by over 8,000 investors and partners. We also attended the Blockchain and ICO Funding Summit in Santa Clara and the 7th Global Family Office Investment Summit in Dubai. Both events were a great opportunity to hear insights from business and thought leaders and participate in discussion about the hottest industry topics.

We also played a significant role at two leading events in London and provided keynotes speeches. First, we attended BlockChain Live, the UK’s annual leading event for blockchain technology, which brings together over 3,000 innovators, influencers and investors. Here we discussed the mass market need for an aggregated mobile payments solution. Second, we spoke at the PayExpo, where we discussed the material trends transforming the payments industry. We were also captured on camera afterwards reflecting on the event — watch here.

Sharing amazing content

In 2018, we also shared our insight and advice through articles covering a range of topics. We provided the 101 on topics from Robotic Advisors and KYC to ISA accounts and peer-to-peer lending. We also published more featured pieces from how, and why, you should diversify your investments to tips to set financial goals.

FCA authorisation

Being a financial service, regulation, compliance and security is very important to us and our customers. We applied for two separate FCA licences and we’re proud to say that we are FCA authorised — so our customers can be confident in our platform and offering. We’re well on our way towards Open banking…

In 2019…

We’re very excited for 2019, especially as we will be launching Zeux and can’t wait to share more updates with you. If you haven’t signed up for free early access then make sure you do it soon — otherwise you may have to wait in line for a few weeks time.
