Philippines Startup Zed Secures US$16.5M Series A Funding from Accel

Philippines credit card startup Zed has raised US$16.5 million in a Series A funding round led by Accel, the venture capital firm known for backing global tech giants like Facebook, Spotify, and Slack.

This fresh capital brings Zed’s total funding to US$22.5 million.

The investment marks a significant milestone for the local fintech sector, signalling growing confidence from top-tier Silicon Valley investors in Philippine-founded financial technology.

Founded by Danielle Cojuangco-Abraham and Steve Abraham, Zed targets young Filipino professionals who are often overlooked by traditional banks.

Instead of relying solely on outdated credit scores, the company utilises artificial intelligence (AI) to underwrite customers based on current income, transaction data, and other alternative sources.

The startup’s credit card offers premium features tailored to modern spending habits, including zero foreign exchange fees, unlimited virtual cards with customisable spend limits, and auto-closure settings for enhanced security.

Steve Abraham, Co-Founder of Zed, noted that the funding would accelerate their plans to rebuild the financial stack.

Since its invite-only launch, Zed has seen significant demand, with nearly 200,000 sign-ups on its waitlist.

According to the company, it has recorded a 500% increase in monthly transaction volume since early 2025.

(Photo by Paul Natkin/Getty Images) Getty Images Singer Lou Gramm has a vivid memory of recording the ballad “Waiting for a Girl Like You” at New York City’s Electric Lady Studio for his band Foreigner more than 40 years ago. Gramm was adding his vocals for the track in the control room on the other side of the glass when he noticed a beautiful woman walking through the door. “She sits on the sofa in front of the board,” he says. “She looked at me while I was singing. And every now and then, she had a little smile on her face. I’m not sure what that was, but it was driving me crazy. “And at the end of the song, when I’m singing the ad-libs and stuff like that, she gets up,” he continues. “She gives me a little smile and walks out of the room. And when the song ended, I would look up every now and then to see where Mick [Jones] and Mutt [Lange] were, and they were pushing buttons and turning knobs. They were not aware that she was even in the room. So when the song ended, I said, ‘Guys, who was that woman who walked in? She was beautiful.’ And they looked at each other, and they went, ‘What are you talking about? We didn’t see anything.’ But you know what? I think they put her up to it. Doesn’t that sound more like them?” “Waiting for a Girl Like You” became a massive hit in 1981 for Foreigner off their album 4, which peaked at number one on the Billboard chart for 10 weeks and…
