Cashplus Bank is a British challenger bank and prepaid card operator that is a trading name of Advanced Payment Solutions (APS). Cashplus Bank provides business bank account and contactless Mastercard cards in the UK.

History

Cashplus was initially a prepaid card operator launched in the UK in 2005.[1] As of 2008, it had become the top prepaid service in Europe using Mastercard credit cards.[2]

It applied for a banking licence in 2017, then transformed into a fully regulated UK bank after acquiring its banking license in 2021, thereby becoming Cashplus Bank.[3][4]

Later in 2024, Cashplus Bank is set to rebrand as Zempler Bank.[5]
