TransferWise, a London-based startup that wants to make transferring money between currencies effortless and inexpensive, has launched its first proper mobile app.
Available to download from the App Store now, TransferWise is a peer-to-peer service that sidesteps bank fees and lets you switch money direct to users in other countries.
Though it has an Android ‘app’ already, it’s actually just a shortcut to its website and lacks any real ‘native’ functionality. A proper incarnation will follow soon though.
TransferWise was founded by Taavet Hinrikus, a former Skype director, and consultant Kristo Käärmann in 2010. It received a $6m (£3.9m) investment boon from Peter Thiel, co-founder of PayPal and now VC.
