Incorporated in 2015 by Bhavin Turakhia, CEO and Ramki Gaddipati, CTO, Zeta has the mission of becoming “The World’s First Omni Stack for Banks”. The banking tech start-up offers its unique product, Omni Stack, which provides banks and financial institutions (FIs) with the operational capability to launch products & services of interest to users. The tech startup also seeks to provide the digital consumer of today with a better user experience, claiming that the prevalent software used by banks is heavily outdated.
How does it want to do this? By uprooting the existing software technology used by banks with a modernized and fully functional platform to enhance security, privacy and reliability with its product, Omni Stack.
In a statement released by Zeta, CEO Bhavin Turakhia says, “Most banks are using decades-old software built when Mainframes and Cobol were in vogue. They have been slow to innovate and provide poor user experiences.”
The start-up seeks to bring modernized and curated solutions to such financial institutions. He goes on to say:
“With Zeta, FIs can leverage a modern, cloud-native platform and improve speed to market, agility, cost to income ratio and user experience.”
