I decided to use their Open Banking autosave feature to work around this. The money should be pulled in automatically.

figgyc said:On the Zopa above - is it possible to open another Zopa RS pot if you close your first one? Thinking I might do that since mine is set to the 3rd and am slightly annoyed it's another funding date to deal with (on top of the 1st and my FD reg which is currently on the 16th, although that matures this month so I can shift it for the new year)Actually in general: does anyone (iOS user perhaps?) have a full copy of the terms/summary box? I think the only way to see it is on the app when you apply, and on Android the app blocked me from taking a screenshot when I tried.6

I could find no way of saving or taking a screenshot of the t's and c's either (android) when applying. I tried looking in the app again unsuccessfully, but that doesn't mean it's not there, could just be me being useless.
Thanks Jaypers, I hadn't seen your post when I posted this.0 -

Finally got the Zopa Current Account invite. ID and Selfie ok first time. Opened a current account and deposited £1. Opened RS@7.5% fixed. Transferred £300 from my Zopa ISA as an opening deposit for RS. After not being able to see the RS sort code and account number needed to set up 11 SO`s from nominated account I used the autosave instead (Recurring variable payment) to set up £300 monthly payments from my nominated account. During this process I was able to see my RS account details.
Will my Recurring variable monthly payment from my nominated account show up as a Standing Order in it`s list of SO`s? Autosave is new territory for me. I would have liked to specify 11 SO`s (autosave does not allow you to do this) but I suppose in 12 months time when the RS matures into a smart saver access pot I will stop the payments manually. I presume Zopa will notify me of the RS maturity.

No I don't think the OB authorisation is to set up a new SO. Presumably it will be pushed as a FP each month. No new SO here.The regular saver is a pot within their smart saver, so I don't think it can be credited directly from an external account.1

The account details are the same as the Smart Saver account; the regular saver is just a special type of 'pot' inside it. Auto-save has to be used for automated deposits to go directly into the RS pot (which Zopa handles on their side). Zopa not providing a choice of end date is probably due to the RS product being so new (and not even fully available).

No, but your bank should provide a list of your Variable Recurring Payments, usually found in the Open Banking section where you also find your list of authorised connections. VRPs are an additional type of regular payment, alongside Standing Orders, Direct Debits and Continuous Payment Authorities.
