    Any of you using TransferWise?

    I've heard about them for a while but just did some research on them. Interesting company. Doing extremely well and looks like they would be a good fit for this industry. They just got valued at $1billion. Definitely making noise and doing it the right way (giving more back to the customers). Have any of you used them?

    If you haven't heard of them take a look (referral link attached) https://transferwise.com/u/4d2a4

    Cool they have an app to transfer money with a 4.6 star rating. I installed it out of curiosity and it's pretty slick!



    They definitely got a good thing going. Richard Branson is a $25,000,000 invester in the company

        Banking is being commoditized.
        • Wire services
        • ACH services
        • P2P lending
        • Kickstarting


        And maybe to become fossilized or with a revised and reinvented footprint -- time will tell.
        Online tellers with cameras and voice (maybe with customer located scanning verification) are possible in the near time future.

        Eventually there may be a worldwide ACH/SEPA like clearing system in answer to these services. I see them as needing to adapt to that as well as the banks.

        Richard Branson has money to burn -- he's probably just speculating with a tax angle.

          I looked at their transfer fees & didn't notice much difference between Natwest & my spanish account Sabadell

          I'd like to hear more about them, considering i'm always transferring money from Britain & Spain.

            What was the difference between your banks current conversion rate and the TransferWise conversion rate? What was the difference in fees?

                Far from .000001% it's substantial especially on exchange rates

                  I'm also a big fan of GoCardless.com, another great idea that saves businesses money

                    Oh I know. I meant in general, the "business" of shuffling money around and taking a slice for doing so.

                    For this they do a great job. Impressive.

                          If I was to take out 400euro from a cash machine in Spain using Natwest, about 300 gbp, It would cost 5 or 6 gbp & if I spend 100 dollars in a card payment to the US it's about 1.49 variable.

                          It seems the higher the amount the less Natwest charge. They're a good bank, always trying to help.

                          Sabadell is a new account, so I haven't made many payments overseas as yet

                                          Two thumbs up. And they are not in the affiliate payment business...they are in the money transfer business, although you can have your affiliate program send your wires to them, and then transfer to your bank and save an average of 3% over the best bank fees.
                                          They base their exchange rates on the mid market rates, giving you more for your money.

                                            I know it's an old thread but I have been using them for a while and they are great. Best rates by a mile...

                                            A little inconsistent with timings. UK to New Zealand is normally a few hours but can take up to 36. That can be a bit frustrating but I can put up with it.....

                                              Nop, they hate adult. They even google company name in your transcation list and if they found out adult connection, your account is toasted.

                                                They dont really "google" it. To complying with the requirements of GDPR and KYC regulation, they use a combination of Open Source Corporate Registers, National Corporate Registers and services like Gemalto’s ID document verification.

                                                  not really - i have a company account with them since a couple of years and we do payments to some publishers and receive payments from advertisers also. but i believe that when your company is called fuckmybitch ltd they will not like it.

                                                    That is what was posted by many posters before in various transferwise threads. It was quite popular option for withdrawing money fast from paxum till paxum banned it. If you still have your account, that could be result of luck, or simply due your occupation which is traffic selling, something with what paypal which is very strict fine, so they could be fine as well.

                                                        i don´t know why one should need paxum to use transferwise
                                                        transferwise have same options as paypal - and even cards and fast transfer in any account to other currency accounts.

                                                        transferwise is not really strict about adult but the problem is that many adult workers do not really have the transparency they need.

                                                        if you see how hard it is to even open a simple bank account in this days somewhere I would not say that transferwise is even less difficult.

                                                          Yes possible how unusual way of how paxum is dealing business was too much for them.
                                                          And i do know one network which uses transferwise for receiving wires, they dont use anything else for wire.

                                                            People used it as a way to get fast and cheap money, as only alternative was to use wire to get money out of paxum, while with transferwise people were able to use ETF withdraw which is cheaper and faster.

                                                              I am not sure to what timeframe Klen is referring to but in the past 2 or 3 years paxum changed from a US based company to a european based company.

                                                              if you work with paxum as a european based company or individual it is today MUCH easier and cheaper to work with them.
                                                              in the first years paxum was nothing official than a simple service. as far as I know they are now kind of a bank/financial service under FINTRAC regulations.

                                                              so the "was" and "is" are very different things.

                                                                thats true - they have a card but it is limited to 250 all 30 days for ATM cash withdraws.
                                                                but if you want to pay with the card it is like every debit card with no limits.

Doing extremely well and looks like they would be a good fit for this industry. They just got valued at $1billion. Definitely making noise and doing it the right way (giving more back to the customers). Have any of you used them?

                                                                      in the first years paxum was nothing official than a simple service. as far as I know they are now kind of a bank/financial service under FINTRAC regulations.

                                                                      https://www.paxumbank.com/

                                                                      People with a regular Paxum account have absolutely no relationship with Paxum Bank.
