It's human
When you lend at Zopa you're
helping real people with
names and faces and families
and toenails and stories to tell.
Zopa makes money human again. Instead of sitting in a bank, your money goes to creditworthy people who'll use the cash to improve their lives. Maybe it’s a couple who are building a nursery for their new baby or maybe it’s a young woman who wants to buy a car so she can start her own business. Whoever you lend to, you'll get to see where your money goes and what it's being used for.
