The Role
Our Story
 
Hello there. We’re Zopa.
 
We started our journey back in 2005, building the first ever peer-to-peer lending company. Fast forward to 2020 and we launched Zopa Bank. A bank that listens to what our customers don’t like about finance and does the opposite. We’re redefining what it feels like to work in finance. Our vision for a new era of banking puts people front and centre — we’ve built a business that empowers everyone to aim high, every day, to move finance forward. Find out more about our fantastic offerings at Zopa.com

We’re incredibly proud of our achievements and none of it would be possible without the amazing team here. It’s not just industry awards we’re winning, we’ve also been named in the top three UK’s Most Loved Workplaces. 

If you embrace unconventional challenges, are unafraid to think differently and are driven to make an outsized impact, you’ll thrive here at Zopa, so join us, and make it count. Want to see us in action? Follow us on Instagram @zopalife

As a Fraud Application specialist, you will undertake a wide range of activities and you will play a crucial role in the servicing, processing and approving of applications to support our Zopa products where fraud concerns are held, while providing exceptional customer service to deliver the right outcomes. This role requires a keen eye for details, strong analytical skills and the ability to make information decisions and will work as part of the wider fraud team at Zopa.

This is a hybrid role – the team works in the office on Tuesdays and Thursdays.

Your working week will consist of 7.5 hour shifts between 8 am and 8 pm, Monday to Friday, and you will be required to work one day of the weekend every other week, remotely. If you work a day at the weekend, you will receive a day off during the week.

A day in the life:

  • Conduct thorough application screening and review processes for all Zopa products, ensuring adherence to company procedures and service conduct level agreements
  • Handle all aspects of fraud escalation referrals during the application journey – this includes, document reviews, conducting security calls where concerns are held and escalating to the fraud operations team where high concerns are held
  • Manage and complete fraud checks with other banks via Cifas, where concerns are held with documentation
  • Utilise credit reference agency information and extensive data to support underwriting decisions
  • Maintain clear and consistent communication with customers throughout the onboarding process
  • Assist senior and team leader where required.

About you:

  • Proven experience working in a similar role within a financial institution
  • High level of attention to detail regarding documentation examination and call reviews
  • Ability to work under pressure and able to prioritise tasks and cases within a given time frame
  • Keen to continue to learn to stay aware of changes in processes and regulations
  • A team player that acts with integrity and treats our customers and associates with respect
  • Adaptable in a fast-paced environment
  • Ability to work under own initiative and keen willingness to learn
  • Proven excellent customer service skills.

We're on the move! 
Towards the end of 2025 Zopa will be relocating to a brand-new headquarters at 20 Water Street in Canary Wharf. The 44,000 square foot workspace will foster collaboration and inspire creativity for our 900 employees amidst our 2025 growth blitz.


At Zopa we value flexible ways of working.
We value face-to-face collaboration and a good work-life balance. This hybrid role requires you to come to our London office 2 days a week.
 
You'll also have the option of working from abroad for up to 120 days a year!* But no matter where you are, we’ll make sure you’ve got everything you need to thrive, both in your work and home life, from day one.

*Subject to having the right to work in the country of choice

We are made up of nearly 50 nationalities, have a DE&I forum made up of Zopians wanting to make a difference and we are proud of our culture where everyone can bring their full self to work.

What We Do

We’re Zopa, and we want to make money work better for you. Our diverse team is united in their mission of creating simple, fair and honest financial products that have the customer’s needs at their heart. We’re proud that this dedication is reflected in our excellent rating on TrustPilot. We’ve always been unapologetically honest with our customers, and value the same in return. Their feedback helps us shape what we build, so we can provide a bank fit for today, and for the future. We’re not the new kids on the block though - we’ve been a pioneering force in finance for 16 years. In 2005, we built the first ever peer-to-peer (P2P) lending company, giving our customers access to loans built for real-life and intelligent investments backed by cutting-edge tech. In 2020, we launched Zopa Bank, meaning we could offer more – like fixed term savings backed by FSCS protection and a credit card to help customers take control of their finances. We’ve lent out over £6 billion and are proud to have made money work better for over half a million people across the UK, whether they were looking to borrow or save.
