TransferWise Reviews and Ratings

Reviews across Trustpilot, Smart Money People, and Reviews.co.uk are all really positive. Customers are happy with the exchange rates and speed of transfers overall. There are very few critics, but they seem to have the most frequent issues with transfers being blocked or cancelled.

TransferWise isn’t included in the Which? list of ‘Best & Worst Banks’.

TransferWise recently topped a list of Britain’s most recommended brands, provided by data from YouGov. People were asked which brands they would recommend to family and friends from a list of 1,500, and TransferWise came out on top along with challenger bank Monzo.

In November 2019, TransferWise partnered with GoCardless to create recurring foreign payments for businesses.

The startup will soon be adding transfers to Malaysia. Currently customers can transfer to and from 17 Asian countries. The foreign currency transfer service also announced it would give away $150,000 to Singaporean based businesses and individuals who have been hit with high transfer fees.
