The Path to Glory
The Olympics may be over, but the competition at Zopa is on fire.
With only 5 days left in the How Low Can You Go? Help Challenge, we’ve decided to take another peek at the race.
To all of you who’ve made the leap already, congrats! To everyone else, there’s still plenty of time to get on the horn and make it happen. Remember, the promotion counts every CD application submitted in August, so even if the CD doesn’t commence until some time in September, it’ll still count. You too could get 50 smackers from Zopa!
For those of you who’ve somehow missed all the fanfare this month, a quick recap:
- All borrowers who receive $.50/mo or more of new help will receive a $50 reduction of their October Loan payment.
- The three borrowers who receive the most new help in the month of August will receive a Zopa CD of their very own. These CD’s will earn 3.75% interest over the course of the year, and will help the borrowers of your choice (you can’t help yourself though — that would just be squirrely).
- First place gets a $1,000 Zopa CD, 2nd gets $750, and 3rd takes home a clean $500 CD.
And now, without further ado, the front-runners for our super special prizes:
1. tommienocker, with an astounding $15.43/mo in new Help!
2. lynndriette, standing tall with $8.33/mo.
3. jdhogan, keeping everyone honest with $4.25/mo.
These are the current top 3, but these borrowers are snapping at their heels:
4. Cubbiesnexty, with $3.41/mo
5. dfargher, with $3.20/mo
6. shadowcat7, with $1.75.
But this race ain’t over yet. There are still 5 days for people to submit applications! Whose gonna be the next Usain Bolt and shatter the Zopa monthly Help record?

I really was gonna buy a 20,000 CD for cubbies but the 3.75% rate is so far below aaverage rates now,that i would be better off just sending him 1.75% of my own interest than buy another Zopa CD.I sure hope you guys look around at CD rates & get more competitive
