Customers

Bank customer incentive programs for new accounts and referrals

A reward works best when it lands soon after the action. Plum sends the gift card the moment your systems say an account, a card or a referral counts.

  • Welcome new customers once their account is open and funded.
  • Thank customers who refer a friend, once the friend’s account opens.
  • Publish clear terms, and check local rules on customer incentives with your compliance team.

Controls

A financial services rewards platform your risk team can sign off

Banks need to know who can send what, and to prove it later. Plum gives each team its own access, asks for a second person’s approval and keeps a record of every send.

  • Give each team access only to its own programs.
  • No reward goes out until a second person approves it.
  • Download a report of every send for your audit file.
