About Fat Zebra
Fat Zebra is a Canberra based startup that launched in January 2012. Cofounders Pred Dragila and Matthew Savage wanted to simplify the way that businesses could take payments online, so they decided to create a payment gateway that was simple to work with, easy to integrate and that provided a great user experience at a reasonable price point.
The founders skills compliment each other perfectly, Dragila has a solid background in finance and Savage’s strength lies in software development – allowing them to build a reliable and effective product [a fast, reliable and secure Tier 1 PCI-DSS certified Gateway]

With a sexy interface and easy to use back end, we definitely think that Fat Zebra is going to be a player in the SMB payment gateway market as it grows over the next 24 months.
