Zopa set for IPO and buy now, pay later offering

Peer to peer lending FinTech Zopa is not only still planning its IPO but says it will add buy now, pay later (BNPL) to its offering.

Zopa says it will list here in London either late next year or early 2023. 

It has also launched a banking brand. 

It plans to add buy now, pay later products to its offering as the sector grows in popularity.
