Zopa Personal loan reviews (65249)

Fantastic lender

5
I applied for a loan in June 2016 and Zopa were able to give me a clear understanding of what the monthly repayments would be depending on the number of months of borrowing. The decision was quick once the application had been received and the money was in my bank account within 24 hours. The direct debit was all set up as part of the process and it's a stress-free loan process. I would definitely recommend Zopa to others looking to get a loan with great APR.

Efficient and painless

5
Taking out a personal load is a daunting task and searching lenders can be a mine field. Not with Zopa, from beginning to end, easily navigated structured menus with concise up to the minute information made the whole process a please. For me there is only one choice, Zopa. Thank you.

Great product despite initial hiccups

I knew I wanted to get a peer-to-peer loan from the get-go and knew about Zopa beforehand. I did a quote to see how much it would cost me to take out a £3,000 loan over the course of a year and was delighted to see that my interest rate was quite low. I also liked the fact that this quote did not affect my credit score in any way and that there were no early repayment fees. I decided to just go for it, however I didn't receive the quick and easy confirmation from Zopa that I was hoping for. I was under the impression that a final decision would be given to me quite quickly but this process took 10 days from submitting my application to getting it approved. This was because I needed to provide additional information, including a copy of my passport to prove who I was. While I obviously didn't mind doing this, I found that the communication levels were quite poor. It took me ringing up about four times to find out exactly what it was they wanted. Because a lot of the system is automated, I didn't receive any emails telling me that there was still outstanding information on my application that needed to be verified. Nobody rang to tell me this was the case. I had to chase them. Anyway, after that was all sorted the money was deposited and I have had absolutely no problems with the provider whatsoever and am happy with the loan. Reviewed on: 2nd June 2017

Brilliant lender low cost Apr

I found this lender whilst searching for a loan and I was impressed at the quickness of being able to secure it. I was also impressed at the low interest rate which was easily managed to suit my earnings. I would definitely recommend to others looking for a loan. Reviewed on: 2nd June 2017

Amazingly low rate and so easy to arrange with simple, uncomplicated paperwork

5
The rate I received through Zopa was far lower than I had been offered elsewhere. I felt like they recognised my excellent credit score instead of trying to profit from me. The arrangement was so easy and all online, which I much prefer. The forms and statements are clear and fuss free, and I would genuinely recommend Zopa to anyone looking for a loan. Reviewed on: 2nd June 2017

Just the best!

5
Searched online for the best deal and Zopa beat everyone hands down. So simple to use website and application process. Decision made almost straight away and finance in my account within 48 hours. I'll definitely be using Zopa again without a doubt. Reviewed on: 2nd June 2017
