Zopa Bank Partners With Upvest to Launch Investments in the UK

Zopa Group PLC, the digital bank pioneer trusted by 1.6 million customers, is today announcing a landmark partnership with Upvest, Europe’s leading investment infrastructure provider.

Designed for the nation’s new generation of first-time investors looking to make their money work harder with peace of mind, the news will see Upvest power Zopa’s investing capabilities, available in General Investment and ISA wrappers.

Zopa Investments are being rolled out in beta to existing customers before becoming available to the wider public in early 2026, initially targeting those 15 million UK adults who hold more than six months’ income in cash but are not yet investing.

The partnership will support millions of UK consumers on their investing journeys, powered by Upvest’s Investment API.

Future updates will introduce a selection of Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs) as well as user experience additions such as insights and prompts to help customers get the most from the product.

Customers can start investing in minutes with as little as £1 while retaining the flexibility to withdraw and return funds throughout the tax year and maintain their full ISA allowance.

Merve Ferrero, CSO at  Zopa, said: “For far too long, Brits have been sitting on billions of cash — not because they don’t want to invest, but because they don’t know where to start. At Zopa, we’re changing that.

We’re thrilled to be working with Upvest to unlock Investments for millions of UK consumers for the first time. Bringing Investments and Stocks & Shares ISA accounts alongside savings and cash ISAs under one Zopa roof gives our customers more financial control, all within a simple, education-led platform designed to build confidence and peace of mind.”

Symmie Swil, UK General Manager of Upvest, said: “We’re proud to be powering Zopa’s brand new capabilities with Upvest’s Investment API. Our partnership will make investing easy, simple, and trustworthy for Zopa’s 1.6 million customers as it enters its next phase of growth.

“Zopa is a trusted brand empowering people to build wealth and take greater control of their finances, and it sits at the forefront of digital banking innovation. With Upvest’s technology, Zopa is seamlessly integrating investing alongside current accounts, offering customers a holistic view of their finances and meeting them where they are. We’re delighted to partner with Zopa as they expand their offering and make wealth building accessible to a new generation of British investors.”

The integration of Upvest’s industry-leading technology transforms how retail investors move and manage their ISA funds, making internal transfers (between the existing Zopa Cash ISA and new Stocks and Shares ISA) seamless.

In a market built around saving, this capability helps more people start investing while enabling financial institutions to better support long-term wealth building. By also powering seamless external ISA transfers and real-time visibility on transfer statuses, Upvest helps Zopa become a central financial hub, offering a holistic experience across saving and investing and building customers’ confidence in managing and growing their money.

Founded in Berlin in 2017, Upvest is now active in over 20 European markets and has quickly become one the UK’s leading investment infrastructure providers. Upvest processes up to 10 million orders per month (as of October 2025) on behalf of its clients including N26, bunq, Raisin, Santander’s Openbank, DKB, and others. Zopa joins existing clients in the region, including Webull and Revolut, who are leveraging Upvest’s market-leading technology to deliver unparalleled investment offerings in the UK.

FCA, crackdown on crypto

FCA, crackdown on crypto

The post FCA, crackdown on crypto appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The regulation of cryptocurrencies in the United Kingdom enters a decisive phase. The Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) has initiated a consultation to set minimum standards on transparency, consumer protection, and digital custody, in order to strengthen market confidence and ensure safer operations for exchanges, wallets, and crypto service providers. The consultation was published on May 2, 2025, and opened a public discussion on operational responsibilities and safeguarding requirements for digital assets (CoinDesk). The goal is to make the rules clearer without hindering the sector’s evolution.

FCA Consultation: What’s on the Table The consultation document clarifies how to apply rules inspired by traditional finance to the crypto perimeter, balancing innovation, market integrity, and user protection. In this context, the goal is to introduce minimum standards for all firms under the supervision of the FCA, an essential step for a more transparent and secure sector, with measurable benefits for users. The proposed pillars Obligations towards consumers: assessment on the extension of the Consumer Duty – a requirement that mandates companies to provide “good outcomes” – to crypto services, with outcomes for users that are traceable and verifiable. Operational resilience: introduction of continuity requirements, incident response plans, and periodic testing to ensure the operational stability of platforms even in adverse scenarios.
