Important Note: DEX functionality is currently disabled for UK customers. Read more about the changes [here].

We understand that the world of fintech (financial technology) might be confusing. It's a world of acronyms, sort codes, and strange numbers. This article will help you understand a variety of aspects related to your Plutus Current Account*.

We create a Plutus Current Account* for each of our customers when they register to use our services. If you register from the UK, a standard bank account with a Sort Code and Account number will be automatically generated for you by our e-wallet banking provider Clear Junction Ltd. Customers registering from eligible EEA countries will be issued with a new IBAN number.
