Why do we exist?
Our mission is to enable banks and other financial companies of any size globally to implement delightful mobile and web experiences for their customers and provide them with the foundation for success beyond fast time-to-market. We offer a digital banking experience platform, Digital Success Fabric, that combines the best of both the buy and build worlds, reducing the time and effort of creating modern digital banking experiences by up to 80%.
Who are we?
Our name is derived from Plumeria, a beautiful flower growing in many tropical countries and considered a sacred plant in some of them. Plumeria symbolises new beginnings, dedication, and beauty. Our mission reflects this symbolism as we pave a new way for how banking is experienced by millions of people globally, with unconditional commitment and meticulous attention to every detail of what we do.
We are banking rebels, revolutionising how banking is done for over two decades. Our founders and leadership team have been instrumental in building two banking unicorns, defining new categories in the industry. Plumery was founded by Ben Goldin, former Chief Product & Technology Officer of Mambu, the leading cloud core banking platform, and ex-Chief Architect of Backbase, a global engagement banking provider for financial institutions. Ben has over 20 years of experience building products and technology for banks and other financial institutions.
Plumery is backed by world-class investors (Headline, BTV, Seedcamp) and esteemed business angels, such as Ricky Knox, founder of Tandem Bank, Didier Valet, former Deputy CEO of Société Générale Group, Charlie Songhurst, former Head of Strategy at Microsoft, Alan Morgan, former Senior Partner at McKinsey & Company, Nathaniel Harley, Co-Founder and CEO of MANTL, and others.
