Zebit CEO, Marc Schneider, commented: “the strength of Zebit’s performance through Q4 is a bellwether for the increasing demographic of consumers who value and repeatedly use the company’s eCommerce services.”
“We expect strong growth in 2021 as we expand our reach in helping the increasing number of Americans living paycheck to paycheck, purchase everyday products that many of us take for granted.”
“In addition to its primary eCommerce sales channel, as physical retail stores reopen, Zebit will also enable consumers to continue to finance purchases in physical retailers through sales of electronic gift certificates on our platform that can be redeemed in brick and mortar.”
