I know this had nothing to do with the blogb, but a certain question has started troubeling me and i dont know where else to ask it.
I first heard of zopa in a magazine and to be frank i was pretty excited since it seemed like such an amazing idea. Why would we give money on a bank that gives us so little intrest or why borow if their intrest is enormour. So i was all Huzzah like assoon as i cought wind of this. But then i noticed what usualy happens at something so amazing online ” UK residence only ”
And since im not from the UK but only from the lame EU i have a problem, so im wondering if ZOPA is ever thinking of expanding to the whole of EU ( and if so how big is the chance of it doing so by the end of next week? ^-^; )
I wish to hear any anwsers of such or thoughts from the zopa staff
Anyway keep it up

Hi Heijiri
Thanks for your best wishes and interest – sorry that we’re not able to help you out at the moment!
We’re working on expanding internationally as soon as possible, although our first destination is likely to be the US. We’re trying to work out whether we can get regulated for the EU as a whole, or whether we need to go country by country. Also, we’re thinking about how best to manage the expansion – whether we do it ourselves, or partner with others.
Needless to say, we’d be very excited about an EU launch – and hopefully you’ll see us there in the nearish future!
Cheers
Dave

Seasons felicitations to all you hard workers – enjoy the break – and let’s see Zopa give black eyes to the fat cats in the big four banks!!
