Zopa, founded in 2005, is a UK-based digital bank that originated as the world's first peer-to-peer lending platform. The company has since evolved into a full-service digital bank offering simple, fair, and honest financial products. It has lent over £6 billion to half a million customers across the UK.
The company operates in the financial services, banking, and lending sectors. Its technical work spans distributed systems and user experience design. Engineers ship to production daily and maintain full responsibility for their code.
Zopa's culture emphasises putting people first - customers, team, and communities - alongside a commitment to ownership, collaboration, and thoughtful challenge. The company has been remote-friendly since its founding and now operates with hybrid work arrangements. It prioritises customer impact over unnecessary complexity.
