The Plum story
Back in 2014, two Cypriot friends, Victor and Alex, set a challenge: who could save more? Victor followed the usual advice: setting a budget and moving money into a savings account. Alex, on the other hand, built an algorithm to do it for him.
Spoiler alert: the algorithm won. That got them thinking. Why was managing money still so manual, relying on willpower, spreadsheets and outdated tools?
Plum was born to change that.
Today. we help millions of people take control of their money. Based in London, with offices in Athens and Nicosia, we offer smart tools for saving, investing and budgeting, powered by the same tech that started it all.
But Plum’s not just about numbers. It’s about turning small steps into big milestones, whether that’s a first home, a dream trip, or financial freedom. Whatever’s next for you, Plum helps make it happen.

We believe in being upfront about the risks involved in managing money, so you can make informed choices with confidence. Here’s a quick guide to some of the key risks you’ll see across Plum:
Risk warning | What it means | Where you’ll see it |
Plum is not a bank | We help you manage your money, but we don’t hold your cash like a traditional bank. Instead, we work with regulated financial institutions to store or invest it. | In our savings products, like our Cash ISA, Lifetime ISA, or Interest Pockets. |
Capital at risk | Some of your money could lose value, depending on where it’s held. This mainly applies to investments, where market changes can affect how much your money is worth. | In investment products, like our Stocks & Shares ISA, Mutual Funds, stocks, and funds. |
The value of investments can go down as well as up | Investing isn’t a one-way street. Your investments might grow, but they could also shrink, meaning you might get back less than you put in. | In investment products, like our Stocks & Shares ISA, Mutual Funds, stocks, and funds. |
The rate Plum offers may change in the future | Interest rates aren’t fixed forever as they’re based on the rise or fall of the Bank of England’s base rate. If you’re earning a percentage on savings or investments, that rate could go up or down over time. | When we mention an interest rate on savings products like our Cash ISA, 95-Day Notice Pocket or Plum Interest. |
Forecasts are not a reliable indicator of future performance | Just because something has performed well in the past doesn’t mean it will in the future. Predictions can help, but they’re never a guarantee. | In investment products, like our Stocks & Shares ISA, Mutual Funds, stocks, and funds. |
Returns are not guaranteed | You might make a profit, but there’s no promise. Unlike a savings account with a set interest rate, investment returns depend on market conditions. | In investment products, like our Stocks & Shares ISA, Mutual Funds, stocks, and funds. |
