Zopa, Zopa Bank, UK,FinTech, Neobank, Digital BankUK-based digital bank Zopa has secured £75 million in Tier 2 capital to support its growth and expansion plans. This funding brings the total capital raised by Zopa Bank to £530 million, with £150 million raised in 2023 alone. The additional capital will be used to fuel Zopa’s growth and to introduce new innovative financial products.

One of the standout features of Zopa Bank is its underwriting models, which utilise AI and machine learning algorithms. These algorithms have been optimized over the past 8 years, allowing Zopa to deliver stable credit performance, even during uncertain economic times.

CEO Jaidev Janardana views this financing round as a validation of Zopa Bank’s financial performance and a testament to investor confidence in the company’s growth potential. Janardana also credits the success to Zopa’s responsible and sustainable business model, strong unit economics, and vision to become the best bank in Britain.

Zopa Bank sets itself apart from other FinTechs and e-money institutions by being a licensed bank, adhering to the same standards as major high street banks. This means that customer deposits are protected by the Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS) up to £85,000. Zopa Bank also boasts a net promoter score (NPS) of 82, indicating high customer satisfaction.

Since its launch in 2020, the neobank has attracted £3.5 billion in deposits, issued over £2 billion in loans, and provided 470,000 credit cards. It currently serves one million customers and generates an annualized revenue run rate of £250 million. It has ambitious plans to serve five million customers by 2027.
