About Us
Easy Ex was launched in 2011 with the vision of making international money transfers cheap, fair, and simple. Today, our multi-currency account helps millions of people and businesses manage their money across the world. Here’s how we got here.
Like many good stories, this one starts with two friends.
They’re both from Estonia. Taavet, who was the first employee at
Skype, lived in London but got paid in euros. Kristo worked for
Deloitte, also lived in London, and got paid in pounds. But he had a
mortgage in euros back in Estonia.
They both moved their money with their banks — which had expensive
fees and bad exchange rates. They knew there had to be a better way.
So they put their heads together and invented a beautifully simple
workaround.
Our Mission
We believe in money without borders. That's why we're building the best way to move and manage the world’s money. Min fees. Max ease. Full speed.
A better way to move money across borders
Each month, they looked up the mid-market exchange rate. Taavet put
his euros into Kristo’s Estonian bank account, and Kristo topped up
Taavet’s UK account with his pounds. Both got the currency they
needed almost instantly, and neither paid an extra cent on bad
exchange rates or unreasonable charges.
There was no waiting, no stress, and no extra cost. ‘There must be
others like us…’ they thought. So they started a company, called it
TransferWise, and hired a team to build the best way to send money
between countries.
As we grew, we realised that people needed more than just money
transfers. So we added a multi-currency account, a debit card, and a
business account, and changed our name to Wise.
Three things we believe about sending money
1.
Your money not ours
The fees you pay. The money you keep with us. It’s yours. And
we’ll never forget it.
Unlike others who may charge you more, we dream smaller — always
looking for ways to cut down our fees and earn you a return.
2.
Know what you pay
We’re upfront about our fees. No asterisks. No small print. No
hidden fees.
We’re setting a standard that pushes financial institutions to be
honest, creating true transparency for customers, whether you use
Wise or not.
3.
Max ease at full speed
The world’s a richer place when money moves fast and flows free.
Moving country? Setting up a new business? Sending money home? Get
it done with smoother service and fewer taps. No stress. Woah.
