I cannot get my Zopa app to load and the incompetent customer service seem incapable of changing that, so I'll be closing mine down. No point having an app-based account, if you cannot access it via the app.

Have you got the most upto date app/got a compatible phone?

If so uninstall and reinstall, maybe restart your phone too

Market Harborough

For those considering calling Market Harborough today; when I rang yesterday around mid-day, the system is down for staff as well, so they were unable to access anything either.

I have also been invited to open a Zopa bank account, just got the email. Interested to know how many get asked to sign up. Very interested in the Regular saver but also feel the number of bank account I have is getting a bit out of hand as most of them don't get used as bank accounts.

No Zopa invite for me despite having money in a 1yr fix and a Cash ISA via Smart Savings.    However I have opened a Coventry Sunny Day RS, Market Harborough and also renewed Nationwide in the last 2 weeks so a breather might not be a bad thing.

Not sure why I was invited, I have about £30 in my account and not used it for almost a year. No logic to it at all.

Maybe to tempt you back?

Sounds more like a user problem than a customer service problem!! They can't provide everyone with suitable equipment and IT knowledge, they can only sort problems at their end. 

App seems to be fine, I updated to newer version and upon logging in was invited to open bank account which was all done in less than 5 minutes. Once that's open the App shows bank account and savings hub, simply click on Smart Savings Hub and select the regular saver which takes seconds to open.

As they've said its all Beta version so they're expecting issues but I have to say it was all very smooth for me using an Android device running on most recent versions of operating system and App.

Should have also said within minutes of setting up the Zopa bank account a transfer was made from Chase and confirmation of payee was successful and funds transferred almost instantly to new bank account then a couple of clicks in the App and it was on to the regular saver.

Probably less than 15 minutes to update App, apply for bank account, apply for regular saver, transfer from Chase and then internal Zopa transfer resulting in funded regular saver.

Accidentally overfunded Principality - they’ve applied the maximum to my account, anyone know how long the return of the excess generally takes?
