TransferWise

Great first experience with TransferWise!

I've never used a currency exchange company before, but as I was transferring quite a large sum of money from the UK to the US I didn't want to be gouged by lousy exchange rate my UK bank was offering. After researching currency exchange companies I decided TransferWise would be the best for me. They offer an awesome exchange rate, charge a small fee to transfer, and everything is done very quickly and easily online. I was able to send my identification verification right from my phone, got email updates every step of the way and was able to check the payment's progress on the website. TransferWise is a very highly regarded start-up company. The website is elegant and impressive, the user interface is simple to use, the communication along the whole process is great, exchange rate is awesome, and the transfer quick and painless. I would highly recommend TransferWise to newbies and pros alike.
