TransferWise has announced the modification of its name to ‘Wise’. The company is changing the name to accommodate the expansion of its portfolio of services.
Wise now has three products: a business account, an international currency account, and a platform where fintech customers such as Xero, GoCardless, and Monzo can use for inter-border remittances.
Currently, the company has 10 million customers. Every month, ￡4.5 billion are processed in payments. The firm has also recorded a 70% revenue growth to ￡303 million during the year up to March 2020. Wise has also doubled its profit.
Last year, the company was valued at ￡5 billion. This was following a ￡319 secondary share sale. Wise is expected to IPO this year.
Among the company’s sponsors in 2011 include Richard Branson and Peter Thiel.
We’ve reported that TransferWise and Visa announced a global partnership.
