Founded in 2011 by Kristo Käärmann and Taavet Hinrikus as TransferWise, the company's mission is to make international money transfers cheaper, faster, and more transparent. Initially focused on peer-to-peer currency exchange, the company has since expanded its services significantly. Now known as Wise, it offers a comprehensive multi-currency account that allows users to hold and convert dozens of currencies, receive payments with local bank details in major currencies, and spend money worldwide with a linked debit card at the real mid-market exchange rate. The company serves individuals, freelancers, and businesses, and went public on the London Stock Exchange (LSE: WISE) in July 2021.
