Zopa Secures €80 Million for Future Innovations
Zopa, a prominent digital bank based in London, UK, has successfully secured €80 million in equity funding. This funding round was notably led by A.P. Moller Holding, a respected investor in the financial sector, with significant contributions from existing investors as well. The capital raised will play a crucial role in Zopa's ambitious plans, specifically aimed at launching its flagship current account in 2025 and developing a proposition that leverages generative AI. This strategic move is expected to bolster Zopa's offerings and enhance customer experience as they continue to innovate in the digital banking space.
Under the leadership of CEO Jaidev Janardana, Zopa has built a strong foundation over its 20 years of lending experience, lending over £13 billion to consumers across the UK.
Since its inception, Zopa has made remarkable strides, securing its banking license in just four years, and client growth has soared to an impressive 1.3 million customers. The company has achieved profitability and has successfully expanded its product offerings to include current accounts, unsecured personal loans, point-of-sale financing, car loans, credit cards, savings accounts, and tools designed to improve financial management and overall health.
Since transitioning into a digital bank in 2020, Zopa has captured over £5 billion in deposits and currently holds £3 billion in loans on its balance sheet. The company has grown its workforce to nearly 850 employees, and it has garnered one of the highest employee satisfaction ratings in the UK fintech industry. This employee-centric approach, combined with a commitment to customer service and innovation, positions Zopa as a strong competitor in the evolving landscape of digital banking. With these recent developments and planned initiatives, Zopa is well on its way to solidifying its presence and influence in the financial services sector.
