Assessment Title: Business Report
Executive Summary
In this paper we will try to focus on the business strategy that is used by Zip Pay in order to target its customers in Australia and globally to increase its profitability and grow its business. This can be illustrated by analysis of the competitors str
ategies adopted by Zip Pay and evaluating ways it can try to challenge its competitors in the online digital payment platform. Also we will analyse the organizational strategies used by Zip Pay to target the customers and acquire business. Finally we will use a balanced score card which is a measurement tool to identify the key performance indicators which can be used to strategies plans to achieve the financial, customers, internal and organizational factors. Through these strategies we will be able to identify the areas which are the challenges of Zip Pay and take corrective measurement to mitigate the same.
Introduction
Zip Pay is an Australian financial technology company established in 2013 and is presently headquartered in Sydney, Australia. It is a public limited company and was founded by Larry Diamond who is the founder and CEO and Peter Gray who is the co-founder and COO of Zip Pay. The various products that are delivered by Zip Pay to the customers are Zip Pay, Pocket book, Zip Money and Quadpay. As of March 2021, the market share of Zip Pay is $5.83 billion and is presently serving approximately 38500 retail customers and more than 57 million customers globally. It operates in various regions apart from Australia like United Kingdom, New Zealand, Czech Republic, South Africa and UAE. Thus, Zip Pay is servicing its customers through various digital credit options. It is also a company registered with the Australian Stock Exchange (ASX) and is presently priced at $7.40 per share as on 19th May, 2021.     
Organisation’s strategy
The company Zip Pay works on the concept of buy now and pay later. It is the most unique and fastest payment option growing in Australia. Through the concept of buy now and pay later the number of services offered by the company have upsurge to 2 million from 400000. The mode of payment in Zip Pay is an automatically debited from the individuals account once they get them registered to the website. Also, one can choose to pay-off their purchases prior to due date. Any purchases made by the customer during the month from this payment system are due at the end of next month. It is debit mechanism which is adopted by Zip Pay based on which the users account get deducted on the amount of purchase.
Example of such service is that if one makes two purchases in the month of May, 2021, then on 1st of June a statement of the balancing available in the account is send to the customers. The customer will have the time to make payment till 31st March to pay the balance off without charging any additional cost of $6 which is the account service fees charged by other payment platforms.
On the other hand there is another provision delivered by the Zip Pay where one needs to pay the monthly minimum of $40 and a $6 account service from their account balance if there is any extra time needed to pay off the amount on the purchase.
Also, there can be possibility that the customers may not have any balance left in their Zip Pay account. In such cases there are no deductions from the nominated payment method. The repayment will be ceased until the payment of the next purchase is done. Thus, the best part of Zip Pay account is that if the customers have no money in their account, there is no need to pay any penalties to keep the account active (Zip – Help Center, 2021).

Competition strategy
The biggest competitor of Zip Pay is PayPal which delivers services through credit card processing system where one can accept all major types of payment from various customers in the website. PayPal operates globally in more than 202...
