Your money in Plum Interest is held in a fund containing short-term government-backed loans and bonds. It’s considered low risk, and provides stable returns in comparison with other investment products.
The 3.62% variable annual return we show is a net rate. That means it already includes the annual fee of 0.30%, based on the daily balance that you hold in the Plum Interest fund, and you know exactly what you're getting. Learn more about our fees here.
Plum Interest allows you to invest in bonds issued by the government. The fund makes short-term loans to robust companies, who can show a strong track record, in exchange for government bonds.
That means those assets are backed by the government, and you can earn a share of any interest earned, with less risk than other types of investments.
If you contribute money by adding it to your Plum Interest Pocket, you’ll be charged a yearly fee, based on the daily balance that you hold in the fund.
For Premium subscribers this annual fee is just 0.10%, because we waive our usual 0.20% service charge, but for all other customers this total annual fee is 0.30%.
The remaining 0.10%, which all customers pay (including Premium subscribers), is the fund management fee for BlackRock. The fund value is automatically updated to reflect BlackRock’s fee, so you won’t see it as a separate charge.
Where applicable, Plum’s service charge fee is collected from your Primary Pocket on the first day of each calendar month.

Plum is a partner of Modulr Finance B.V., authorised and regulated by the Central Bank of the Netherlands. ) Any money invested with Plum Interest is protected by the Financial Supervision Act.
Your money is safeguarded by a regulated custodian. So if anything should happen to Plum (or our fund provider), your assets will be passed back to you and can’t be touched by anyone else.

This is a projection of the rate at which your money could grow over the next year. To keep things simple, we quote the net yield (after fees are applied).
The projection is based on the 1-day yield, which means it takes the previous day’s return and scales this to reflect what the fund could earn over a full calendar year. The actual rate offered is similar to the base rate set by the central bank, which can fluctuate over time.
On the scale of investment risk, this fund can be considered amongst the lowest available. That’s because it invests in high quality assets, like government bonds, and only loans money on a short-term basis to reputable companies and governments.
There is a risk that the forecast of projected yield might not be fulfilled over a longer period e.g. if the central bank lowers its base rate over time. But this fund is designed to transact at a constant price, so you shouldn’t get back less than the initial principal you invested, in the short term.
