Google autocomplete questions: “TransferWise” edition 🙄
TransferWise is so 2021 but it would appear that a few people on the internet have held onto the old us. Even after our recent glow up. Which is fine but, you’re giving us an identity crisis.
Imagine showing up to your school reunion, a few years down the line.
You’ve changed your hair, your outfit makes you look like a top model contestant, you’ve grown as a person, you can’t wait to tell everybody about your partner Dave who is ten times better than that loser you dated in 6th form.
You walk through the door, ready to show off the new you, and then, you get called by that nickname you got given one PE class and reminded of the time you fell on your face in the cafeteria while everyone was watching. Sigh.
Ok, totally not the same thing at all, we actually love our old name, but you get the point. We are Wise. WISE.
Anyway, in a desperate bid to milk my “Google autocomplete questions answered” series until you beg me to stop, here are some of the “TransferWise” questions I found on Google. Followed by my answers. That may or may not be of use to you.
Pls take me far away from here
Is TransferWise safe?
If you’re referring to the British slang version of safe, meaning “cool” then yes, yes TransferWise is safe. On a serious note, the answer is yes, we are also safe safe. More on how we keep our 16 million customers' money secure across the globe here.
How to use TransferWise?
It’s so easy. You just go “hey, wouldn’t it be nice if I could transfer money across the world, utilise 50 currencies, use a card that allows me to get paid and spend like a local, and boost my everyday spending with Assets?” And we go, “Wassup?”
