Show Notes
Is this the man who could end the global credit card crisis?
In this explosive episode of Secret Leaders, we sit down with Philip Belamant, the visionary founder of Zilch — the UK fintech unicorn that’s rewriting the rules of credit, debt, and how we pay.
Most people know Zilch as a "Buy Now, Pay Later" app — but it’s way more than that. It’s an interest-free payment model that flips the credit card industry on its head… all while quietly becoming 27x more effective than Google Ads
What we cover:
Why credit card debt is a trap — and how Zilch is helping people escape it
The shocking truth: The average UK citizen takes 16 years to pay off a credit card
How Zilch funds 0% interest payments without hurting consumers
The new payment system that could replace traditional credit
What it takes to fight against billion-dollar legacy lenders
Why Zilch's advertising model funds debt relief — and beats Google in the process
The UK’s role in the global fintech revolution
