About Us

TransferWise is the international money transfer platform based on peer-to peer technology. Launched in 2011, it is one of the UK’s most successful fintech startups having raised $91m in funding from investors such as Andreessen Horowitz, Sir Richard Branson, Peter Thiel and Max Levchin, the co-founders of PayPal. Co-founded by Taavet Hinrikus and Kristo Käärmann, the company was created out of frustration with the high fees charged by banks on international money transfer. TransferWise uses the mid-market rate - without the hidden mark-up fees - making it up to 10 times cheaper to send money abroad compared to using a bank. Over £500 million is transferred across the globe every month using the TransferWise platform, saving customers more than £22 million every month. TransferWise is working to make the world a tiny bit better by helping to make the financial system fair. www.transferwise.com
