We’re pleased to announce that Pluto has been acquired by Orbzii, a fellow UK-based travel brand, with the mission to empower people to Dream, Plan & Book their next trip, all in one beautiful app. They’re deeply aligned with us on the future of travel planning and we’re excited to see how they continue to deliver on Pluto’s product vision.

As part of the acquisition, they’ll take over ownership of our mobile app, website, and incredible community of users. Watch out for more exciting announcements over the coming months.

What does this mean for me and my Pinboards?

The Pluto app isn’t going anywhere! So rest assured, your travel plans aren’t going anywhere either. So please keep on planning and dreaming for your next trip as normal.

What about my insurance cover?

If you still plan on making a claim, then you can do this directly with our insurer’s claims partner. Please submit any claims here. If you have any other questions, please contact our insurer, that was the underwriter on our policies, Zurich UK. We will be terminating our insurance licence with the FCA as part of this acquisition.

A note from the Pluto founders

This may not have been the original ambition we had for Pluto, but given the tough years the travel industry has been through with the pandemic, we believe this is an excellent next step for our community of users. Our app, that we’ve spent the last few years passionately creating, will continue to be utilised and all of our community’s plans and content won’t go to waste.

We want to say a huge thank you to all of the investors, users and employees that have been part of Pluto’s journey during the past 6 years. We wish our new owners, Orbzii, the very best of luck in continuing on with our original mission.

All the best,

Alex & Harry
