Plum is helping 1.4M people around Europe to motivate their money. Supported by automation, we put you in the driving seat, providing access to smart spending analytics, budgeting and investing tools. So, wherever you are on your financial journey, we can accompany you on the ride so you can achieve your money goals. We want to empower you to take control of your money, to transform it into something more.
And here’s why:
11.5M people in the UK have less than £100 in savings
90% of UK savings accounts pay less than inflation
£4B lost to the loyalty penalty every year
2/3 of UK adults say money stress has affected the health or wellbeing of someone they know.
Our Mission

Now, Plum lets customers across 10 different countries handle all their money needs in a single place.
