To provide the complete set of features that many of our customers know and love, Plutus works with various third parties including a banking partner. Our banking partner provides and manages your Plutuscurrent account. Plutus is moving from one of its current banking partners, Clear Junction, to a new and improved banking partner, Modulr.

Plutus is making this change so that customers can enjoy a more reliable and abundant range of bank-like features. This means providing all existing customers with new current account details (i.e. a newUK Sort Code & Account NumberorEuropean IBAN).

New accounts will be rolled out to users in batches to ensure a smooth transition. Customers will be notified individually via email, push notifications, and in-app messages regarding their new account details over the coming weeks. You do not need to do anything!

Plutus will do everything for you behind the scenes. Your existing account details will become void upon receiving your new account details. This means any future deposits to your previous current account will bounce and the funds will be kicked back to your originating bank account.

If your previous Plutus account details are saved in another banking app (e.g., for depositing money to Plutus),remember to replace these with your new account details upon receiving them. Customers will receive access to the following features instantly: Additional new features will be added incrementally this year.

Similarly, existing customers (both UK & EEA) will be migrated across in batches over the coming weeks. New accounts will be rolled out over the course of several weeks in batches. Which batch you are included in is determined by various factors (card activity, region, etc.) to ensure a smooth transition.

When it is time for your account to be migrated, you will be notified. Please check your emails and turn on device notifications for Plutus to avoid missing any messages. Yes, there is no action required by Plutus cardholders.
