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, empowering everyone to aim high, every day, to move finance forward.
The valuations team plays a critical role in shaping lending strategy and supporting growth across the bank. The models and frameworks built by the team underpin key business decisions across multiple lending products.
