Our Story

Hello there. We're (COMPANY NAME).

We started our journey back in 2005, building the first ever peer-to-peer lending company. Fast forward to 2020 and we launched (COMPANY NAME) 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 (COMPANY NAME).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 (COMPANY NAME), so join us, and make it count. Want to see us in action? Follow us on Instagram @zopalife

If you're the right candidate, you can play an important role in building the bank of the future using some of today's most cutting-edge technologies. You'll be working in a small, agile team with plenty of opportunities to learn from and exchange knowledge with your colleagues.
