TransferWise, valued at over $1bn, has been co-founded by Taavet Hinrikus and Kristo Kaarmann. The firm uses a peer-to-peer matching service that reduces transfer fees and enables consumers to transfer money abroad online at a lower rate compared to that offered by traditional lenders and operators.
The firm has already signed an agreement with Estonian retail lender LHV for embedding its service directly into the bank’s mobile banking app.
The service is expected to be integrated into LHV’s mobile platform from early 2016.
