OUR TAKE Plum really knows how to charm investors. It’s like they’ve hit the jackpot with that $17.4 million haul. And Eurobank doubling down with their second investment. That’s a vote of confidence, for sure. But let’s not forget, remember when Revolut also raised a whopping round and then faced some growing pains? Plum needs to use this money wisely to avoid any stumbles. With AUM over £1B and revenue skyrocketing, the pressure’s on to keep delivering. Crowdfunding success is impressive, but real test is scaling up gracefully. Let’s see if they can maintain this momentum. –Miurio huang, BTW reporter Plum , the UK-based money management app, has successfully secured £16.1 million ($17.4 million) in new investment.
