When I took out the ISA it was at a great rate but obviously not now. I never intended to invest the full amount though. I quite like that they save a random amount for me each month. I have a few inv... See more

Being using Plum for more than 2 years…

Being using Plum for more than 2 years now. Would recommend them to anyone looking to save and help others to manage their spending. I have started to dabble in investing which Plum makes easy. Have also upgraded my membership as of late too.

Not what it was

Poor communication, issues with regular deposits not being taken or processed.
Was good but seems to have gone wonky in 2026

So easy to use

So easy to use, very straightforward and they keep you in informed of how much money they're going to take out each week and how it's worked out....I honestly wouldn't have saved anything if it wasn't for Plum! I've been using it for years and have saved so much. If I ever do need to take money out it's really easy to do!

Hi Tim,

We are sorry that transferring your ISA hasn't been the seamless experience we strive to provide.

To help clarify the process, as Plum isn't a bank, your account isn't tied to a standard sort code or account number. Instead, we use your personal details and National Insurance (NI) number to identify your account.

Additionally, to ensure speed and security, we only process transfers digitally (either via our app or your provider). We are unable to accept postal requests, so if your provider has sent one by post, they will need to resubmit it electronically.

We have reached out to you directly to provide further assistance and help get this resolved.

Thank you for your patience. We look forward to turning this experience around for you.

Issues with transferring Stocks and Shares ISA

I have had a stocks and shares ISA with Plum for a few years now, app has been easy to use to build up decent savings and investments. However, as soon as I've tried to access those investments for a house deposit in the near future, the service has been awful. I have been trying since January to complete a transfer to a cash ISA. First their AI assistant gave me completely the wrong instructions, including an email address no longer in use. I chased multiple times for updates and no one responded until finally someone admitted they'd made a mistake and gave me compensation (refused a material loss assessment though). After that experience I made the decision to transfer to another provider, they have made multiple errors throughout that process I can only assume they're being deliberately obstructive. Including by updating my address incorrectly and providing me with the wrong account number so the transfer request first got declined. And for the second request, there were delays in this getting picked up, multiple different members of the customer service team seem to have picked up my case, giving me conflicting and confusing advice and I was left waiting for 6 days on my simple request for an update as to whether it had even been initiated. My new provider has been keeping me well informed and the difference in communication is stark. My partner also had a difficult experience when transferring his stocks and shares ISA. Would not recommend plum, this is not how important investment decisions should be handled.

Plum is not the company for me

I decided to.invest in a Plum cash ISA account. As a transfer of £20k between my accounts took longer than expected, I.opened the account with £100. As I then had misgivings about Plum and FSCS protection I decided not to proceed. I emailed Plum asking them to close my account. It took them 2 days to reply to my email and although they did eventually confirm the account closure I am still waiting, more than a week later to receive my money back. It took Plum about 2 minutes to open the account and take the £100 initially, obviously they use a very different process for refunding it. Not happy with Plum and wouldn't recommend them

Hi Janet,

We’re sorry to hear about your experience and the frustration this has caused. We also appreciate the opportunity to clarify a few important points.

From 1 December, the FSCS protection limit increased to £120,000 per person, per bank, building society, or credit union (or up to £240,000 for joint accounts), subject to eligibility.

Our internal controls are designed so that no more than 65% of your money is held with any single bank, which means:

Balances under £184,615 are fully covered by FSCS protection (unless you hold additional funds with the same partner banks outside of Plum).

For balances above this level, a portion may exceed the FSCS limit with a single bank.

All the necessary details regarding Plum's Cash ISA FSCS Protection can be found in the following article in our Help Center: https://help.withplum.com/en/articles/9414451-cash-isa-protection

Additionally, we apologize that you haven’t received prompt and attentive support at all times. This is always our aim, and what you experienced here must have been an isolated case.

In relation to the account closure process, we do need to follow a full and secure process before we can proceed, to ensure everything is handled correctly and in line with regulatory requirements.

We’ve also reached out to you directly in case you’d like to discuss this further and so we can help resolve things for you as quickly as possible.

Thank you for your understanding, and we look forward to hearing from you.
