Our opinion

The peer-to-peer lending market is growing rapidly on the back of major financial technology developments and the overly caustious nature of traditional banks. Zopa are the oldest and largest of this new type of loan service and their customer ratings speak for themselves. We have no hesitation in working with Zopa and it is certainly worth applying through our no-fee system to see what loan offer they can make you. Keep in mind that they are not able to help if your credit rating is on the poorer side.
