Zopa turns 3–and Japanese–on the same day!
We’ve crossed countless rivers. Climbed many mountains. And now, finally, we are three years old.
That’s right, it’s our third birthday today (it’s already March 7, Greenwich Mean Time!). It seems like it was only yesterday that we were but a twinkle in our founders’ eyes. And look at us now. Brits, Italians, and Americans all working together to make the wonders of social finance a reality for more people in more places.
But we’re not stopping here. Social finance and our 200,000 global members are way too big to be held on only two continents. Today not only marks our third birthday, but also the official announcement of the formation and upcoming launch of Zopa Japan.
Tatsuya Kuboi, the Managing Director of Zopa Japan, was in town last week for some face-to-face time with the US team and let me tell you, Zopa Japan is poised for great things.

The social finance revolution is really picking up momentum now. Which is exactly what it should do. After all, that’s what good ideas do. They grow.
And they only get better with age.
