Origin Story

By Kristo Käärmann

The Problem

Banks were charging hidden markups on exchange rates, costing businesses and individuals billions.

Building It

Founded in 2011 as TransferWise, rebranded to Wise in 2021, now publicly listed.

What It Means

International money transfers should use the real exchange rate with transparent fees.

The Dream

To build money without borders — instant, convenient, transparent, and free.
