Just two days after its semi-public beta, Zopa US opened for business late yesterday. The announcement was in the Zopa US blog (here) and emailed to its house list this morning. See Sunday's NetBanker post (here) for our initial impression of the service.

Absolutely true that the first loan is to an employee--since it takes a few days to get a loan onto the system, we had to have a pilot loan in there that we could set up in advance.
We have a very large number of loan applications in the system as of this morning. As those borrowers move through underwriting and are approved, they'll appear on the site. Some of those borrowes are borrowing for really interesting reasons, too. We're excited.
No worries..
