TransferWise is a money transfer service allowing private individuals and businesses to send money abroad without hidden charges. TransferWise lets expats, foreign students and businesses move money globally. The firm's pricing and operating model are a substantial departure from standard practice in the money transfer sector, providing customers with a lower-cost alternative to traditional means of moving money internationally. TransferWise was founded in London in March 2010 by Taavet Hinrikus and Kristo Kaarmann. Taavet was part of the small team that started Skype in 2003 and has recently worked with a number of startups as an angel investor and advisor. Kristo had a financial services background from Deloitte and PricewaterhouseCoopers. Institutional investors include IA Ventures, Index Ventures, Seedcamp and Kima Ventures. Strategic angels include Virgin Group Sir Richard Branson and PayPal founder Max Levchin. TransferWise is licensed and regulated by the UK Financial Services Authority.

How to invest in TransferWise stock?
Accredited investors can buy pre-IPO stock in companies like TransferWise through EquityZen funds. These investments are made available by existing TransferWise shareholders who sell their shares on our platform. Typically, these are early employees who need to fund a life event – house, education, etc. Accredited investors are then offered the opportunity to invest in this stock through a fund, like those used by hedge funds serving large investors. While not without risk, investing in private companies can help investors reach goals of portfolio diversification, access to potential growth and high potential return.
