Zil Money Strengthens Business Payment Security With SOC 2 Type II Examination

Independent examination gives businesses greater assurance when managing payments and sensitive financial information through Zil Money.

TYLER, Texas — September 7, 2026 — Businesses depend on payment platforms to handle some of their most sensitive information. Zil Money is strengthening the trust behind those transactions with the completion of its SOC 2 Type II examination.

The examination provides independent assurance around the controls supporting Zil Money’s systems and services.

For businesses choosing a payment platform, this matters for a simple reason: security should be proven, not just promised.

SOC 2 is an assurance framework developed by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, or AICPA. It examines controls against applicable Trust Services Criteria related to areas such as security, availability, processing integrity, confidentiality, and privacy.

A SOC 2 Type I examination looks at the design of relevant controls at a point in time. SOC 2 Type II goes further by examining whether relevant controls operated effectively over a defined period.

For Zil Money customers, that provides another level of independent assurance when using the platform for important business payment operations.

Why This Matters to Businesses

Small and midsize businesses now manage more of their financial operations online.

They pay vendors through ACH. They send wires. They issue checks. They use virtual cards. They fund payroll and other business expenses. They store financial and payment information inside cloud-based platforms.

Every one of those activities requires trust.

When a company chooses a payment provider, features and price are only part of the decision. Business owners also need to know how the provider approaches security, protects sensitive information, and manages the systems supporting their transactions.

The SOC 2 Type II examination gives businesses independent information they can use when evaluating those controls.

It can also help companies that have formal vendor-security or due-diligence requirements before they approve a new technology provider.

“Businesses trust us with important parts of their financial operations, and we take that responsibility seriously,” said Sabeer Nelli, CEO of Zil Money. “Completing the SOC 2 Type II examination is another step in our continued investment in security, strong operational controls, and the trust our customers place in our platform.”

Security Is More Than One Examination

SOC 2 Type II is part of a broader security and compliance program at Zil Money.

The company currently maintains programs and credentials that include:

  • SOC 1
  • SOC 2 Type I and Type II
  • PCI DSS
  • ISO/IEC 27001
  • ISO/IEC 20000
  • ISO 9001
  • CCPA
  • GDPR
  • NIST SP 800-53
  • HIPAA

These standards and frameworks address different parts of security, privacy, financial controls, payment-card protection, information-security management, IT service management, and quality management.

For example, ISO/IEC 27001 focuses on information security management, while PCI DSS establishes security requirements for handling payment-card information.

Together with SOC 2 Type II, these programs support Zil Money’s broader approach to protecting the systems businesses rely on for their payment operations.

Building Trust Into Business Payments

Zil Money provides businesses with one platform to send, receive, and manage payments through methods including ACH, wire transfers, checks, virtual cards, and credit card-funded business payments.

The platform is used by more than one million businesses worldwide.

As businesses increasingly move payment processes away from manual systems and into connected financial technology platforms, security has become a major part of the buying decision.

Business owners need more than a provider telling them that its platform is secure. They need evidence that security and operational controls are being independently examined.

That is where SOC 2 Type II becomes important.

The examination does not mean that security risks disappear or that any system can guarantee complete protection. Instead, it provides independent assurance about the design and operating effectiveness of relevant controls during the period covered by the examination.

For businesses comparing payment providers, that can make security easier to evaluate.

Customers and organizations conducting vendor reviews can also request available compliance documentation from Zil Money for their due-diligence requirements.

A Continued Commitment to Business Security

Completing the SOC 2 Type II examination is not the end of Zil Money’s security work.

It is part of an ongoing effort to strengthen the technology, processes, and controls supporting businesses as they manage increasingly complex payment operations.

For business owners, the message is straightforward:

When your company’s money and financial information are involved, trust should be backed by independent assurance.
