UK digital bank Zopa has teamed up with Hive to provide a path for homeowners to finance solar and other green home upgrades. According to a statement from Zopa, customers may now apply for a Zopa-based loan on the Hive website. Susan Wells, Director of EV & Solar at Hive, said the initial cost outlay remains a real obstacle for solar adoption. Hive reports over 2.5 million customers including heating, solar, EV charging, heat pumps and related products. The deal also marks the launch of Zopa for Business; the embedded finance platform that brings together payments, retail finance, auto finance and embedded partnerships in one place.
