How much can I borrow?
Zopa is a marketplace where people can lend anything from £10 to upwards of £25,000 - and our lenders come from all walks of life.
You could end up borrowing from pensioners, students, young professionals, entrepreneurs or even fellow Zopa borrowers - because some of our lenders are borrowers, and some of our borrowers are lenders.
How is the fee calculated?
Borrowers pay a fee of £94.25 on their loan. The fee is paid up front when the loan application is agreed.
So, a borrower taking out a loan of £5,000.00 would have the fee of £94.25 added to their loan amount. Because we only lend money in chunks of £10, an extra £100 is added to the loan and once the fee has been deducted, the borrower would get £5,005.75 paid into their bank account.Can I repay my Zopa loan early?
Yes, you can repay your loan early at no extra cost.

"I think Zopa's brilliant. The borrowing process was so easy. I loathe banks. It makes me very angry how much gets creamed off any product and it rocks me to my soul how much I spend on interest... it feels so greedy"

"I've borrowed £5,000 to help me pay for some work to deal with subsidence in my garden. I got what seems to me to be a very good rate, and I can pay if off whenever I want. And I love it that the money comes from real people; it feels like they are investing in my garden.
Zopa has a very different feel from a bank. There's an idea behind it - a modern idea - which there isn't with a bank. Zopa is even-handed. You don't feel that with a bank - the bank's set up to always win."
