A little about us
Founded in 2020 with a full banking licence and backed by some of Silicon Valley’s most iconic investors, digital bank Zopa is building the Home of Money.
This is a place where financial products deliver good value and managing money is made effortless; deep and long-lasting relationships mean customers are left confident about their choices.
Zopa seamlessly blends the agility of digital banking with 20 years of lending expertise - having lent more than £13 billion to consumers in the UK to date.
It is reliable as a big bank, as helpful as a challenger bank but with more peace of mind than both. One of the UK’s highest rated and most celebrated financial brands, Zopa was again voted the UK’s best Personal Loan Provider and best Credit Card Provider at the 2024 British Bank Awards.
Zopa Bank Limited is authorised by the Prudential Regulation Authority and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority and the Prudential Regulation Authority.
