TransferWise is a money transfer service company that was launched in the year 2011 by Taavet Hinrikus and Kristo Kaarmann. TransferWise is headquartered in London and has offices in different cities. TransferWise was created as a result of frustration of sending money abroad which was at that time expensive. Individuals were forced to pay for hidden charges when transferring money to another country. TransferWise was born to solve this issue and lets individuals send money abroad at low cost without hidden charges.

- Company's Rating:
TransferWise provides multiple currency accounts and supports over 300 currency routes throughout the world. TransferWise does not transfer money directly from the sender to the receiver but rather it works by redirecting payments of an equivalent amount the recipient. This means that the recipient receives money from another sender of equivalent amount and not from the sender initiating a transfer. This whole process avoids transfers across borders and currency conversion.
