Our Story

Hello there. We’re Zopa.

We started our journey back in 2005, building the first ever peer-to-peer lending company. Fast forward to 2020 and we launched Zopa Bank. A bank that listens to what our customers don’t like about finance and does the opposite. We’re redefining what it feels like to work in finance. Our vision for a new era of banking puts people front and centre — we’ve built a business that empowers everyone to aim high, every day, to move finance forward. Find out more about our fantastic offerings at Zopa.com! 

We’re incredibly proud of our achievements and none of it would be possible without the amazing team here. It’s not just industry awards we’re winning, we’ve also been named in the top three UK’s Most Loved Workplaces. 

If you embrace unconventional challenges, are unafraid to think differently and are driven to make an outsized impact, you’ll thrive here at Zopa, so join us, and make it count. Want to see us in action? Follow us on Instagram @zopalife

Our centralised and cross-product BI team empowers Zopa with data-driven insights which enable decision-making across different areas of the business, such as product, risk and operations. We are passionate about continuous learning and innovation, ensuring we stay at the forefront of best practices in data analysis and business intelligence.​

Our mission is to provide seamless data access across the organisation and create automation flows whenever possible, while increasing rigour, trust and consistency on our deliverables. To bring more value to our stakeholders, we bring a cross-product perspective and focus on what they need, delivering data outputs using the best format possible.​

Our team of four is currently driving projects that provide a broad overview of key KPIs across different products and credit risk areas, supplementing these with analytical tools that allow for a deep-dive. Our tech stack includes SQL (currently on Amazon Redshift), dbt, Tableau and python.
