Zopa Biscuit Account - Direct Debits
Options

I currently have a Zopa credit card and a Zopa car finance loan and I saw that they were bringing out a current account that you can earn cashback with on direct debits.
I thought I'd open a Zopa current account and use that to pay all my direct debits each month to earn the cashback, my biggest one being my car loan, with Zopa. However I have just found out that you are unable to pay Zopa products, such as credit cards and loans via direct debit from the Zopa bank account, which seems very counter intuitive to me. Has anyone else had this issue?

Open a Moneybox account and transfer money to it via direct debit. That's what the rest of us have doneI consider myself to be a male feminist. Is that allowed?2

Has anyone else had this issue?I'm not suprised that Zopa hasn't accounted for this - they only exited beta fairly recently.Given the DD cashback cap is limited to £30/year rather than any sort of monthly cap, I'd also reccomend a single £1500 DD to meet the criteria. Moneybox worked well for me.2 -
Thanks for the reminder re: annual cap. I was about to start moving my DDs from Santander 123 Lite following its forced closure but will rethink my plans as I've already had the £30 via MoneyBox DD!0

£30/year? What a joke. I wish I looked it up before moving a great deal of my DDs to Biscuit. Oh, well.
By the way, I was able to push Zopa to move my Zopa loan DDs to Biscuit simply by asking them to do so via their support chat.
