Development Update

Plutus 2.0 Unveiled

The tech team has been working tirelessly over the last fortnight and delivered on Plutus 2.0! The frontend and backend are connected, and the development team has squashed countless bugs to ensure the system functions properly.

The aim is to streamline as many processes as possible on the user’s end for a quick and easy user experience. Account set-up takes as little as two minutes and the KYC verification process is incredibly efficient.

Our feature set is available to staff accounts and members of our community who are part of the Pilot Programme to assess the robustness of our system. Once we have rigorously tested the platform, we will roll it out to the rest of the community and the wider public.

Database Upgrades

The tech team has also made further upgrades to our database management system in a production environment.

Marketing Update

Website Revealed

As part of Plutus 2.0, we are pleased to unveil our new and improved corporate website. The site breaks down some of our newer features and navigation is laid out simply. As mentioned earlier, full access is available to selected members of the community who are testing our services.

Brand Identity

The marketing team has updated all imagery across our social media platforms to match the Plutus 2.0 design overhaul. Consistency is a core element of strengthening a brand’s identity and one we aim to deliver on.

Events

The marketing team has made contact with the organisers of fintech events to demo our Plutus 2.0 platform and applied for award nominations to boost our presence within the industry. We have also collated a list of relevant events, podcasts, awards, etc. occurring throughout the year that will help in identifying potential marketing opportunities.

Delta Direct

We recently announced we are active on Blockfolio Signal, and we can now confirm our arrival to Delta Direct; a platform that connects us with existing and future community members. This is part of our continued effort to improve communications with our valued customers. Join us here.

General Update

Card Pilot Programme

The Plutus Test Cards preloaded with £25/€25 have been shipped to selected members of our community within the UK and Europe to test their functionality and robustness. A handful of early supporters have already received their test cards and are now providing us with valued feedback.

The feedback from these users has been overwhelmingly positive so far and the tech team are working efficiently to reconcile any errors found on the front end. We are rigorously testing all our partner’s card services endpoints and ensuring we map the responses to a state in our microservices so we have the appropriate, user-friendly and helpful error messages in place.

Errors are frustrating for any consumer, and they can be a make or break situation for any customer relationship. We are thoughtfully approaching our error messages to deliver useful and practical solutions when you experience such issues — user experience is incredibly important to us.

Test Card Scenarios

We are testing our cards in the real world across six major test categories…

ATM withdrawal Contactless Chip & Pin POS E-commerce Card Settings (Freeze, Unblock, Suspend Card, etc.)

We can proudly report that most use cases have passed exceptionally smoothly with the exception of some minor reports in ‘Transaction Table’ and ‘Card Setting’ responses — the team is already working on fixing this.
