TransferWise, the UK-based payments money transfer company, is launching a new service allows customers to make cross-border payments in a wide range of currencies.
TransferWise has implemented a “borderless scheme” to improve the efficiency of sending money around the globe. The service will initially only be available for small businesses and freelancers in the UK and Europe, and will be available to those in the US next month.
This type of function will allow businesses who are challenged with moving money from one country to another an alternative to a normal bank transfer process or even PayPal. Normally global financial institutions such as Citibank and HSBC for example, offer such schemes to their customers.
