What is different about Plum Basic Portfolio?
Welcome to the artificial intelligence investment revolution! Plum connects with your bank account and by the magic of AI calculates how much you can put away to save every month, depending on your mood (are you feeling like a beast this month or a bit more timid?) Smart huh?
Plum Basic Portfolio review
We wish we could give it a straightforward review but the truth is that it has its upsides and its downsides. The website is clunky, which is bad, but It makes it easy for you to save, which is good. However, extras come with a charge. As ever, you get what you do or don’t pay for.
