Invesco taps Zopa Bank to bring easy investing to UK savers

By Vriti Gothi

Invesco has partnered with Zopa Bank to support the UK government’s “Leeds Reforms,” which aim to encourage consumers to shift more of their savings from cash into long-term investment products.

The move reflects growing demand among digital-first consumers for accessible investment options and simplified financial planning tools. Industry research continues to highlight the challenge of converting high levels of idle cash held in UK savings accounts into productive investment, an issue the government has linked to broader economic growth goals.

The partnership combines Invesco’s investment expertise with Zopa’s customer-focused digital platform to target first-time investors with education-led tools, streamlined onboarding and diversified fund options. The rollout will begin with access to two Invesco summit responsible multi-asset funds, available to customers gradually through the end of 2025 and expanding further in 2026 via Upvest’s API infrastructure.

“This partnership with Zopa marks an important milestone for Invesco. As digital platforms reshape how people engage with their finances, we see tremendous opportunity to make investing simpler and more accessible,” said Oliver Bilal, Head of EMEA Distribution at Invesco. “By combining Zopa’s customer-first approach with Invesco’s global investment expertise, we aim to break down barriers and empower individuals to build long-term financial resilience.”

Merve Ferrero, Chief Strategy Officer at Zopa Bank, said, “For far too long, Brits have been sitting on billions of cash not because they don’t want to invest, but because they don’t know where to start. At Zopa, we’re changing that. We’re thrilled to be working with Invesco to unlock Investments for millions of UK consumers for the first time.”

Ferrero noted that integrating investments and stocks & shares ISAs alongside savings products is intended to provide customers with greater control within a single platform designed to improve financial confidence.

Kate Dwyer, Head of UK and Northern Europe Distribution at Invesco, added, “Zopa has been developing and accelerating their business model and offering their services at scale. We’re excited to support Zopa in delivering an investment experience that is easy to navigate and understand, and in the hope of getting millions of the uninvested actively taking control of their financial future.”
