Looks like Zopa just upped their rates (on their website, doesn't seem to be reflected in the App as yet)... too little too late, already moved out and wont be returning at these levels....

Too little, way too late. Eight of my open accounts beat their base offering. Even the pots don’t offer enough compared to other offerings.

What a disappointment. 31 days notice for 3.6% when you can have it instant with a current account with Kroo in a few days or more with Chip. My Zopa balance of 27 pence remains.

Can’t see a lot of point in Zopa now. Their 95 Day Notice a/c paying 3.7% is less than my Charter Easy Access paying 3.75%. Giving notice on all my pots now and withdrawing the lot.

Huge disappointment there from Zopa. I agree too little too late.

So glad I moved all my money out a few weeks back than wait.
Won't be using them again for some time.

I emptied Zopa out yesterday, bar locked pots.

Is it an NLA  issue?

Very poor from Zopa to not even get the instant access rate up to 3.5%. Did a clear out earlier in the week after my pots matured and there's no reason to go back on that decision based on those rates.

Zopa lost my business this morning....shame because I really like the app functionality (it 'just works') and instant transfers. Kept the account open in case they come to their senses and launch some competitive rates.
