“Brilliant fast experience!!”

Written on: 21/05/2013

Hi there, This was the first time I have heard of Zopa and went with them as they had the best rate for online lending. I have been really impressed with the ease of applying for the loan and what a quick and professional service they give. They were in regular contact throughout and let you know very quickly once they approved your loan. I am very impressed with their service and am already recommending them to friends - in this day and age of regular banking it is a refreshing change to... (read more)

Truly amazed that I applied for rthe loan on Sunday afternoon, received the confirmation/ additional info call at 8.30 the following morning and then an email to confirm all had been approved and the money was on its way!

“Excellent service”

Written on: 18/05/2013 by KIngdombuyer

The world of finance can seem rather complicated to some. Offers in borrowing that really are not what they appear, interest rates or hidden fees that become a minefield to the uninformed and applications processes that are complicated and confusing to some. My experience of Zopa has been extremely pleasant. Competitive in what is offered, clear in communications and fast in response. In all very easy to deal with and I highly recommend their service. Many thanks to the Zopa team for a... (read more)

“Excellent customer service. Incredibly helpful.”

Written on: 17/05/2013 by Showell

There is a very tight deadline once you have applied for the funds so if there are additional queries the underwriters need answering, try to answer them by having any paperwork you think is likely to be relevant (paylips, bank statements etc) ready in advance. be near your computer or a fax machine. I didn't plus had a young baby to look after at the same time so it was slightly stressful. However the lady dealing with my application was incredibly helpful, polite and patient. I cannot...

I earn a good salary but like most people have used a credit card for various items etc.. But paying the credit cards off has always been an issue with the APR.. My 2 credit cards since Nov12 has increased the APR twice!! I wanted to consolidate my debt but using a High Street lender proved difficult due to the Stupid credit scoring that they have!! When the Banks are the very worst with Credit Scores being downgraded by Moodys and Fitch Ratings losing their AAA rating! ZOPA have come along... (read more)

I came across Zopa on moneysupermarket.com and followed it up via Martin Lewis money saving expert website. I was hesitant at first with it not involving banks but once I'd read about zopa and it's awards, it seemed a simple solution to consolidate a few debts. I have saved myself £30 a month by applying for zopa and not through a bank and the friendly staff who rang me to confirm everything put me at even more ease!

I HAD DECIDED TO BUY A CAR AND THOUGHT THAT GETTING A TOP UP LOAN WOULD BE SIMPLE, I HAVE GOOD CREDIT HISTORY BUT WHEN I APPROACHED MY BANK THE AMOUNT OF INFORMATION THAT THEY NEEDED WAS HUGE. AND THE RATE OF FINANCE WAS LOOKING LIKE ABOUT 15% I GOT MY LOAN WITHIN A DAY PAID INTO MY BANK AT 6.1% AND UNDERSTAND THAT THE SOURCE OF THE MONEY IS OTHER MEMEBERS WITHIN THE GROUP. I AM SO GRATEFUL THAT IT WAS SO SIMPLE AND QUICK AND WHEN I HAVE PAID THIS OFF I WILL BE LOOKING TO BE AN INVESTOR. (read more)

Apart from the excellent rates on offer, the whole process is very simple and straightforward. I applied on a Friday afternoon, got a call on the Monday and the money was in the bank on Wednesday. Yes you have to have an excellent credit history and be able to demonstrate the ability to pay the amount but if I was a lender I wouldnt want anything less. Great Service! (read more)

I would like to thank the staff of Zopa for their professional approach to agreeing my loan. I was a touch sceptical at the start when I understood the workings behind the loan, however, there was regular contact through email and phone and it came across as a professional approach. I would like to thank Zopa and its members for approving my loan and to receive it at such a competitive rate was a huge bonus also. I would be more than happy to recommend to friends.

“Excellent organisation and service”

Written on: 11/04/2013 by BennyS

In these tough times when banks have been intructed to take a conservative approach to personal lending, Zopa offers a sensible, helpful and importantly, affordable alternative. This interest I was to be charged by my bank on the same sized loan as I recieved from Zopa, was £4000, as opposed the the infinately more reallistic £845. I have, and will continue to recommend this organisation to anyone seeking an affordable loan. (read more)

Extremely easy application process online followed by a friendly relaxed phone call the following day confirming some security details. Within about 5 minutes from the phone call I got an email confirming my loan had been accepted and would be in my account within 3 working days. Could not have asked for a quicker friendlier user friendly service. Also made a difference that it was recommended by the 'my credit expert' website. (read more)

This is a fantastic service. Pleasant to deal with. Love the idea of being to pay back earlier without being penalised. Great interest rate.

I work in Wealth Management for a major high street bank and the service we provide for our UHNW clients is first class. My experience obtaining a loan from Zopa was truly exceptional! Granted I'm probably a good candidate but even so, after applying for a loan late at night, I got a phone call early the next day with good security checks and had my loan approved there and then. The APR offered was even lower than advertised and there seems to be no nasty surprises awaiting me. All in all,... (read more)

The system is quick, easy, accessible, pain free. Delighted to not have to give the bank shareholders the profit margin. Lowest rate I could find in financing my loan - my own provider - Nationwide was offering 8.9% whereas ZOPA was offering 6.4% for the amount I needed. NB Tried to use Tell a Friend several times - it would not give me the preprared email - so I just emailed 27 of my friends/acquaintances etc with the hyperlink myself.

“Great idea - poorly executed”

Written on: 20/08/2011

I really liked the idea of Zopa - borrowing money from real people and getting a better rate. I was pre approved for a loan which meant that it would go to the underwriters to make a decision. I beleive Zopa are only a small company with around 23 staff so was happy enough to wait a few days. Once you are pre approved you get a message saying the underwriters will make a decision - most places on their website say this can be sorted in a day but could take up to three. They also tell you to... (read more)

Hi there,

We're sorry to hear you've had a bad experience with us.

As you mention in your review, we did indeed experience a high level of demand at the beginning of August, meaning a slight delay in our turnaround times.
We try our best to communicate a possible delay to borrowers via a special email, so our apologies if you didn't receive this email. Also, we probably shouldn't have said that you'll hear back by Monday when we couldn't guarantee it - we've taken that to heart and made sure to communicate this to our customer services team.

I hope you still got a good rate on your loan and should you decide to come back, we'll be happy to have you!

Best wishes,
Marie
