Tranferwise makes me cringe. I fell for the hype. I failed to do research and fell into the same tarpit that even a cursory glance would have revealed.

- Symbiote 8y agoFor most people making normal-person-sized transactions, TransferWise is fine, and doesn't need lots of documentation. For example, paying rent on a holiday home, or sending money to a son or daughter studying abroad. Larger sums, or transfers involving Americans, are more likely to need the additional identity checks. (Source: my usage, and feedback from people I've recommended the service to.)
