The Anonymous Widower

The Reliability of Zopa

Every morning I check the status of my Zopa and normal bank accounts.

Zopa was fine today, but my bank account was inaccessible for routine maintenance from midnight yesterday until eight this morning.

It got me thinking that I don’t think in the over four years, I have used Zopa, I’ve never not been able to access the system.

To be fair though, I have hit a couple of bugs in the past, which have resulted in say the system hanging until I have logged back in, but I certainly haven’t had a problem in the last couple of years, when my use of the system has been heaviest.

So if you worry about Zopa’s reliability, I’d say it’s probably up there with the best financial institutions.

On the related subject of fraud on Zopa, I found this article on the web. The writer makes a lot of sound points.

  1. Thanks for linking to my article, I’m glad you found it useful.

    I think you meant to say “I’ve never not been able to access the system” in your post above.

    I agree with you 100% that Zopa is really reliable, I’ve always been able to access my account.

    Would you be interested in writing a guest article for my site on your experiences of lending or borrowing money with Zopa? My readers would love to hear your thoughts.

    • Thanks for the correction. I hate to see things like that in my blog.

      As to writing an article, I’d very much like to do that.

      As a Control Engineer by training, I like things that are stable and wrote an article on the stability in financial systems. I could take this a lot further.
