If you’re doing that from the Zopa app that’s not Zopa supporting access to Zopa accounts via open banking. That’s Zopa using Santander open banking access.
The person I was responding to wants to be able to connect to their Zopa account from the Monzo app.

I have used Zopa for a few payments and personal payments. Seems nice and quick and no issues. However, I hope I don’t have to call their CS as had found this a little poor previously. They have connected accounts like Monzo. It’s a pity they’re not on Monzo’s list of connected accounts atm despite Monzo being on theirs.
Im new to saving & rather confused. I opened a Zopa account and put 300 in last month & have received £1.78 interest over the month. Zopa state you can earn up to £146 for the year by depositing the full £300 a month at 7.5/7.25%.
Maybe stupidly but I assumed I would be making 7.5% or 7.25% on my deposits each month, so essentially £22.50/£21.75 added in interest each month. How have I got this so wrong?
I also have a chip isa which pays 4.58% interest and this accrues about a pound a day!
Assuming you keep putting in £300 on the first day of each month…
In month 1 you will earn approx. 300 x 0.0725 x 1/12 = 1.81
In month 2 you will earn approx. 600 x 0.0725 x 1/12 = 3.63
etc
Makes so much sense! Thank you for taking the time to explain! Annoyingly my chip has no limit & Zopa is £300 a month, so I suppose that explains the high interest received on my balance.
Really appreciate the explanation! Suddenly crystal clear. Though questionable whether it’s worth having yet another account for £146 after an entire year. But equally it’s ‘free’ money for a little patience/perseverance!
It’s very normal to have several days between acceptance of a loan and releasing of funds.
Depending on the situation, Santander is within 2 working days, Halifax is up to 3 working days, HSBC up to 3 working days, Lloyds the next working day.
Anyway I think the issue was the inability to dismiss the notification.
