 Who we are

TransferWise was founded in 2011 with a clear mission: Money without borders — so people and businesses can send and receive any currency effortlessly, whenever, wherever. So far, we have helped more than 2 million customers and they are transferring more than £1.5 billion every month.

We’re committed to making money transfers instant, convenient and fair for both people as well as businesses. In addition to money transfers, we have opened a Borderless bank account and are soon to launch a Borderless card.

Thus, we’re looking for the very best to jump on board and help us make our mission happen.

What it’s really like to work here

At TransferWise, we do things a bit differently. There’s no corporate nonsense, and no old-fashioned hierarchy. Instead, we work in dozens of self-sufficient, autonomous teams. Think of them like start-ups within a start-up that learn from each other.

Each team picks the problems they want to solve. So there’s no micro-management. No hiding behind fancy job titles. And no one telling you what to do. You are your own boss. But you’ll get tons of guidance and plenty of support from talented, super-smart colleagues from all over TransferWise.

We’re going to be upfront — the way we work doesn’t suit everyone. But if freedom, autonomy, and life-affirming, head-scratching professional challenges rock your world, we could be a match made in heaven.

How do you collaborate with other teams in the company?

At Wise, we work in independent, autonomous teams. Each team has a different way of working, so it is important to build relationships with other departments. For large projects reoccurring meetings are great to ensure collaboration. The key point is to document all the decisions taken and have detailed product and technical specifications in place
