To help pass the identity checks when applying for our bank account, we recommend doing the following:  

  • Make sure you’re in a well-lit environment when taking your selfie and photo of your identity document. 

  • Make sure the image is clearly within the camera frame and your fingers aren’t blocking it. 

  • Make sure it’s a form of ID that we accept. We accept the following documents: 

  • Passport 

  • Driving licence from the UK / EU / EEA / Swiss

  • National ID card from the EU / EEA / Swiss 

  • UK biometric residence permit 

  • The name and date of birth needs to match with your Zopa bank account application, and the document mustn’t be expired. 

If you’re still having trouble, please get in touch with our team.
