I
have my eyes on some promising looking startups these days and to
answer your question I am going to throw some spotlight on them so you
could know what wonders are about to happen around us.
Let`s see what they are doing and who is behind these wonders:
1). TransferWise is the clever new way to convert money to send abroad. The idea is very simple.
Banks have been treating people unfairly for decades.
They charge you huge fees when you convert your money to abroad. Then they hide more fees in unfair exchange rates.
TransferWise
has found a simple way to bypass the banks and make international money
transfers transparent and fair. Like they should be.
The pricing is transparent. The exchange rate is the real one. The small fee is easy to spot.
