Understand the purpose of an application that has appeared on some cell phones in recent days. See if it is dangerous.
It’s always a shock when an app appears on someone’s phone without any prior warning or permission. Many people may think they are being victimized by criminals or that their phone has some kind of virus. The truth is that there are several reasons why an app simply “appears” on your device.
That said, an app called Pluxee appeared on the menus of several Android and iPhone (iOS) phones last week, sparking great interest among users. The reason for the change is very simple. Keep reading and find out what really happened.
Pluxee or Sodexo?
Sodexo Benefícios has changed its name, adopted a new design and automatically updated its mobile tools. However, the app will continue to provide meal and meal card services to employees of partner companies. The app, now called Pluxee, also offers access to features such as virtual cards, password changes, blocks, billing queries, expense management, appointment scheduling and much more.
Those using the old tool have already received the update, while the new version is also available on official store of applications. Understand the changes below better.
What is Pluxee Brazil?
Pluxee Brasil is a Global Advantage Partner. The brand, acquired from Sodexo Benefícios, offers more than 250 products in 31 countries and has partnerships with 1.7 million establishments. According to Pluxee, the “x” represents the connection between opportunities and personalized experiences, while the double “ee” refers to the phrase “employee engagement.” In fact, here in Brazil the brand will not change the meal vouchers or meal services that Sodexo already offers.
What is the Pluxee Brasil app for?
The Pluxee Brasil app allows you to manage your food and meal cards. The platform allows users to check available balances, track spending, check future credit plans and create virtual cards for purchases in stores that accept online or app payments.
In addition, this app prioritizes security and allows you to change your password or block your card in case of loss or theft. When available, the tool also offers the possibility of transferring balances between cards for more efficient financial management. If a new physical card is needed, the user can track the sending process directly in the app, ensuring that their payment method is always available.
How do I download the Pluxee Brazil app?
To download the app, go to your smartphone’s app store on Android or iPhone (iOS) and search for Pluxee Brasil. Remember that if you type “Sodexo” in the search bar, the app will appear as Pluxee. Click on the app and click Download or Buy depending on your phone’s operating system. Wait a few seconds for the app to install and then click “Open” to start using it.
Your data will be the same as that used in the old Sodexo application. Don't worry, your balances, bonuses and all financial aspects will not be affected by the change of company. Now you know what it is all about “strange” app that you saw on your cell phone.
