Plato’s digital and card solutions enable customers to share funds with family quickly and easily
London UK, 19th October: Fast growth fintech TradeCore today announces a partnership with Plato, supporting the payments business in bringing quicker, easier and more cost-effective payment transfers to customers.
TradeCore, which recently announced the UK launch of its new fintech platform, acts as a one-stop-shop for fintech start-ups looking to accelerate their go to market strategy, and will support Plato with its technological proposition, enable the payments provider to focus on product development and help reduce the time to launch.
As consumers increasingly look to transfer funds to their family members, Plato has created a digital system that enables users to send money to their loved ones in just a few clicks. Users download the Plato app from the company’s site or app store and can then load funds via payment methods, including traditional bank debit cards, wire transfers or open banking into their Plato wallet.
The system is much more efficient than pre-existing options, enabling users to transfer funds, and manage the recipient’s spending on mobile, in real time, at any time. Plato is different to traditional money transfer services in that it provides a physical debit card to the transfer recipients – accepted in over 35 million locations worldwide – linked to the Plato account. Users have immediate access to funds anytime, anywhere and can pay in stores, online as well as withdraw money at any supported ATMs.
The announcement comes during a period of sustained growth for TradeCore, which has built a name for itself by supporting emerging fintech startups slash time to market and reduce costs. Through its vast technological expertise and partner network, the business manages and deploys costly backend infrastructure on behalf of its clients, enabling them to focus on developing products and improving end customer experiences.

Recent partnerships include ComplyAdvantage, a global technology company transforming financial crime detection, and TrueLayer, a leading technology company building financial infrastructure that’s open to businesses anywhere in the world.
