Zopa wins Webby for Banking/Bill Paying
The winners of the Internet’s answer to the Cable Ace Awards, The Webby Awards, were announced today. And in true internet style, startup Zopa beat two huge banks in the category of top Banking/Bill Paying web site. The real irony is that Bank of America won the People’s Choice award.
Kudos go to design agency Poke out of London, who created the award-winning design for Zopa’s redesigned site, which launched in late 2006.
