Moving money into a pot with notice given now not an option in Android either (for me anyway) 😭

Odd as no update of app since 22nd. Maybe this has just been turned in server side.

ETA: or to put it another way, trying to get around this by not updating the app won't help.

My app updated to 1.59.0 yesterday, yet the detail in the Play Store shows last update 22 Feb 2023. Clearly untrue as my update list shows the app was updated 27 Feb 2023.

I wonder if 22 Feb is when update was initially released to the Play Store, but we only got the update today (e.g. staged rollout).

However let's await some communication from Zopa.

ZOPA chat this morning . . .

Wonderful English in that response

Never seen the expression x=communication before

Any communication from Zopa is unlikely to arrive before tomorrow's ladder pot matures, however, next one is 10th March (and that's a bigger sum) so here's hoping.

That's my Zopa app now updated, and no access to boosted pots with notice. Ah well, it was good whilst it lasted.

I'm still on version 1.58.0 and still able to move into boosted pots with notice. Have now turned off auto updating. My biggest 95 day pot matures on the 9th March so hope nothing changes for me before then.

I was on version 1.59 on my main phone, and 1.58 on my spare phone yesterday.

Yesterday morning I was able to use my spare phone to move my money into a boosted pot with notice. I don't have auto updates switched on but today it has updated to 1.59 as well

No longer works for me on Android on version 1.60.0

I think they realised that everyone had 10 pots of £1 on 95 days notice all maturing every 2 weeks and we were just moving stuff around 🥴

does everyone still think Zopa is a good savings option? I’m lazy (but not stupid) so if there is a better (and safe) option on 30ish days notice please let me know! I’m saving for a deposit so I’m trying to make my money work whilst I still look for a place … but o already have like 4 online accounts that’s I’ve never bothered to try closing 🙈

thank you 😊

I think Zopa are generally pretty good tbh. There has been times they have been quite slow to update the interest rates other times quite quick. It was rumored they would be doing an  ISA but have not added one yet, I think this would be good. The pots i feel could do with a boost in rates now there's not an option to add to them anymore. Currently they seem to be falling behind again.

My Zopa is emptying every two weeks.
