Why it matters

SMS two-factor authentication adds another layer of security when signing in to your Zopa account. It helps to stop hackers who may have got access to your password -- through a data breach or scam -- from getting into your account.

How it works

With this in place, after you enter your password, we’ll send a verification code to your mobile phone number for you to enter before you can access your account.
