We’ve been in business since March 2005 and have attracted 150,000 members since launch. Millions of pounds have been exchanged between our members and we’ll be launching in the US (and other countries) very shortly.

The future looks very rosy!

Anyone interested in finding out more can hop onto our discussion boards (http://talk.zopa.com) and talk to some of our many members.

Happy lending!
