At Plum, we're on a mission to help everyone be financially better off. People all over the world are making bad financial decisions every day, due to lack of financial education, antiquated financial systems and temptation. In the UK alone, 50% of people have less than £100 in savings. We believe we can change that with great technology, data science and behavioural theory.

Hey! My name is Red. I'm a freelance iOS and macOS developer from Bath, UK.
I have lots of experience working with startups, small companies and have even run my own agency. I take great pride in building polished, well-engineered products; my work has been featured multiple times by Apple.
No, nothing has happened. 100,000 signatures means it's considered for debate, not guaranteed. The response is inevitably:
"We have considered debating this and decided actually we don't fancy it. Keep signing the petitions though, they definitely make a difference and don't think about taking direct action of any form."
