1/ It occurred to us recently that as a VC backed tech company, we don’t have any customers as shareholders. It’s weird. 🤯
About time to change it 👇🏼
Today, a new era begins!
Or maybe it began a while ago and now the name Wise reflects the reality – that it's not just transfers that we are fixing.

Slow financial rails are creating useless products and wasting our time in “innovation”. With the #GMEstock dust settled, here are some thoughts on how our archaic financial infrastructure is becoming an impediment to innovation and simply put - slowing us down! (1/18)
Dear UK merchants,
When prices are jacked up by 5x, you should look for an alternative. Open Banking as a solution already exists. Time to start using it.

The first steps towards true Open Banking have now been made. The grass is green and the sun is shining.
But make no mistake – on the journey from Bag End to Mordor, we've only just left the Shire.

🇭🇺 Similar to our @bankofengland direct integration, we've gone live with the Hungarian central bank @MNB_Hungary this week.
Fun to see our customers puzzled, how it's possible their money arrives from UK to HU in 4 seconds.
Psst, it will also be cheaper

1/ @TransferWise Mission Update Q4
When we started 9 years ago in my kitchen, I couldn’t fathom how much progress we could make with 2000 people.
Now I can share a glimpse of the impact we’ve had in Oct-Dec for our 6 million users.

🇧🇼 Welcome Botswana to the TransferWise network. BWP is the 56th currency live.
Fun fact: the currency is called "pula", which means rain in the local Setswana language. 🦏
Oh boy, what a way to start the decade! I just had the honour to give my first real class at the @UniofOxford about my favourite topic – building products at @TransferWise!
Thank you Professor Vulkan for the opportunity! It has been an incredible experience.

🇲🇾 We launched @TransferWise in Malaysia today.
Our office in Kuala Lumpur is a year old and now licensed by @BNM_official we're ready to help Malaysians save on international transfers.
How does it stack up against the banks locally:
