Zopa, the UK digital bank backed by SoftBank, has swung to profitability, taking the fintech group a step closer to an anticipated public listing. The group posted pre-tax profits of £15.8m for 2023, from a loss of £26m the previous year.
Chief executive Jaidev Janardana, a former Capital One executive, said the company was ready to float and would preferably do so in London, but cautioned that UK markets were not ready for a highly anticipated wave of fintech listings.
