Zopa Services
How does Zopa work? Well, firstly we are proud to do things differently.
We have done so with the Zopa model, which was the first of its kind in the world. We have created a pioneering peer to peer lending platform that works for both borrowers and investors.
What do we do?
At Zopa, we directly match individuals seeking a low rate loan with investors looking for a higher rate of return. Our service works because it is efficient and online. With lower overheads, we are able to offer the best online loan rates in the industry.
How do we make money?
All our business is operated on the principle of transparency and our fees are displayed clearly to our customers should they take out a loan or invest their money.
- Loan customers
Loan customers are charged an origination fee to help cover the cost of setting up the loan. A peer-to-peer loan servicing fee to each loan contract will also be charged and will be deducted directly from each borrower repayment.
- Investors
Investors are charged a 1% fee if an investor wants to sell their loans to access their money quickly. There are other free ways to withdraw funds.
