Need it, want it? Zip launches ‘It Pays to Zip’ with new brand campaign in Australia
Tuesday, 8 September 2026
Read moreSydney – Zip Co (ASX: ZIP), the digital financial services company offering innovative, people-centred products, today launched its new Australian brand platform, ‘It Pays to Zip.’ The new brand platform celebrates the big things, the little things and the everyday choices Australians make as they move towards the life they want.
The launch marks a major milestone in Zip’s refreshed Australian strategy and brings its ambition to life: to be the homegrown digital challenger providing everyday relevance, beyond finance.
Money touches every part of life. Australians are constantly balancing what they need today with what they want for tomorrow - from keeping the household running and managing the unexpected to creating room for things that bring a little more joy.
‘It Pays to Zip’ is grounded in that reality. Built around what matters most to Zip customers - value, transparency, flexibility and control - it reflects Zip’s ambition to empower more Australians to manage purchases and cash flow with confidence, make informed choices and create room for the things that matter to them.
The brand platform comes to life through ’needwant’, a new campaign that playfully explores the familiar choices Australians face when needs and wants arrive at the same time.
From a vet bill competing with a swing set to repairing a broken wall socket while dreaming of a new beer fridge, the campaign turns an everyday financial balancing act into something distinctly Australian and captures the financial balancing acts people navigate every day.
The campaign shows how Zip can give customers greater flexibility and control to make choices that work for their lives and budgets - helping them breathe a little easier today while building confidently towards tomorrow.
Becky Cook, Chief Customer and Revenue Officer ANZ at Zip said, “This is an exciting milestone for Zip because it speaks to why we exist and the role we want to play in Australians’ lives. We were founded with a belief that financial products could be fairer, more flexible and designed around the realities of people’s lives, and that belief remains at the heart of who we are.
“Money is never just about money. It’s about managing everyday needs, looking after the people and pets we love, handling the unexpected and making space for the things that bring us joy. Australians are balancing those big things and little things every day.
“Everyday Australians are constantly balancing what they need with what they want. ‘It Pays to Zip’ recognises that reality and reflects our ambition to help customers navigate those choices with greater confidence, flexibility and control. needwant’ brings that promise to life in a way that feels warm, relatable and unmistakably Australian.
Created by Droga5, part of Accenture Song, the campaign was directed by Torstein Bjørklund of Good Oil. Campaign stills were directed and photographed by Sarah Adamson of Photoplay.
The campaign will run nationally across broadcast video on demand, online video, radio, search, display, social and Zip-owned channels.

Aussies have entered their intentional spending era as households become more selective with their money
Thursday, 30 July 2026
Read moreSydney - Zip Co (ASX: ZIP), the digital financial services company offering innovative, people-centred products, has today released new research showing Australians are becoming more deliberate, selective and value-conscious in how they manage their day to day spending.
A survey of 1,507 Australians aged 18+ found two in three Australians (66%) say they are more thoughtful and selective with their spending than they were a year ago, while almost all Australians (97%) are actively trying to get the best value when they shop.
Rather than spending less, the findings suggest Australians are becoming more intentional about where their money goes, what they prioritise and how they find value.
Key findings include:
- 66% say they are more thoughtful and selective with spending than a year ago
- 97% are actively trying to get the best value when they shop.
- 55% are spending less on non-essential expenses than a year ago
- 46% have shopped around more carefully for better value in the past 3 months to help manage essential living costs
- 44% have planned purchases more carefully in the past 3 months to help manage essential living costs
- 78% continue spending on at least one non-essential category when money feels tight
Value-seeking has become mainstream, with 97% of Australians actively trying to get the best value. The most common tactics include buying items on special (43%), comparing prices (40%), waiting for sales or buying items on special (37%) and using discounts or rewards (34%).
“With household budgets front of mind, Australians are becoming much more intentional about how they spend,” said Soraya Alali, Zip ANZ CEO. “They are spending more thoughtfully, looking for better value and making considered choices about what matters most.”
The research also shows Australians are becoming more selective about where their money goes. More than three in four Australians (78%) continue spending on at least one non-essential category when money feels tight, with popular categories including streaming and entertainment, treats for family or kids, social outings, coffee or café purchases and takeaway or dining out.
“At Zip, we know financial confidence looks different for everyone,” continued Ms Alali. “For everyday Australians, it is about staying in control, making smarter decisions and having the flexibility to manage everyday life. This research shows Australians are becoming increasingly savvy and selective, while still making room for the small things that make life feel good.”
Demographic findings
The research also found differences in how Australians seek value.
Women are among Australia’s most active value-seekers, with the research showing they are more likely than men to wait for sales, use discounts or rewards and buy second-hand when looking for better value. Four in ten women (40%) say they wait for sales compared with 33% of men, while 37% use discounts or rewards compared with 31% of men, and 20% buy second-hand compared with 12% of men.
The shift is also playing out differently across generations. Three in four Gen Xers (74%) say they are more thoughtful and selective with spending than a year ago, compared with 66% of the total population. Gen X is also more likely to be spending less on non-essential expenses, at 68% compared with 55% of Australians overall.
Younger Australians are showing a distinct approach to value. Gen Z and Millennials are more likely than older Australians (Gen X and Baby Boomers) to say they are focused on building more financial security heading into the second half of 2026, while also embracing technology to help them make smarter purchasing decisions. They are also more likely than older Australians to use AI or online tools to compare options when trying to get the best value.
“Across generations, Australians are redefining what value means,” Ms Alali said. “Whether it’s planning ahead, comparing options or choosing flexible ways to manage everyday expenses, Australians are becoming more conscious about how they spend and more active in how they seek value.”
