Zopa continue to prepare for their US launch with an additional $12.9 million raised from Bessemer.  This is in addition to about $22 million (if I remember correctly) that they have raised so far. 

Zopa will use the series c investment to fund the launch of the service in the US, as well as for the continued development and growth of operations in the UK.
