We have been observing with growing alarm and concern the unfolding of a fully-fledged armed conflict in Ukraine.

Our thoughts are with all those enduring catastrophic loss of life and human suffering but also with those in our own community who have been touched by the conflict, especially those with families in the region.

Following the Home Secretary’s new guidance on visa concessions, Zopa stands ready to:

·       Immediately sponsor up to 50 work visas of eligible Ukrainian applicants already in the UK with backgrounds in engineering, technology, and data analytics or with experience in consumer financial services to provide a path to their ongoing security in the UK.

·       Fast track the assessment and selection of those Ukrainians wanting to join their British national family members in the UK, giving successful candidates certainty of a role with Zopa and the ability to onboard remotely from secure locations.

·       Provide a relocation allowance of one month’s salary to support moving costs on receipt of right to work in the UK.

We are working with the Ukrainian Embassy in London and Ambassador Vadym Prystaiko to facilitate the process and encourage fellow members of our tech and fintech communities to extend their support.

Eligible Ukrainian applicants can email UkraineSupport@zopa.com to find out more, or visit our careers page https://www.zopa.com/about/careers to apply for a fast-tracked role, identifying their current situation in the online application form.
