Our mission

We power money for people and businesses - for sending, spending and getting paid in any currency, wherever, whenever.

It should be low-cost and fair. Money without borders - instant, convenient, fair and eventually, free.

It should be easy. Sending money should be stress-free, no matter how far it’s traveling.

It should be fast. We believe that sending money should be as fast as sending an email.

What would I miss if I left?

“I get to work with some of the smartest people. Not only in Europe, but also on this whole planet.”

Trainings and workshops

We work in autonomous teams. We give a lot of trust to our teams and they need to be comfortable with that freedom. It’s not just about coming up with bold ideas, it’s about delivering them.

Why we love our office

The Budapest Office has just moved to the busy 13th district close to the Danube. It’s a city of stunning architecture and unrivalled hospitality, and now it’s the newest home to our customer support and engineering teams. Our office is spacious and light aligning with our core value, transparency. We like to show our attitude, too - the new wall decoration says THIS IS A REVOLUTION!

MORE ON THE JOB

At TransferWise we work in self-sufficient, autonomous teams. Think of them like start-ups within a start-up that learn from each other.

Teams pick the problems they want to solve. There’s no micro-management. No hiding behind fancy job titles. And no one telling you what to do. You're your own boss. But you’ll get tons of guidance & plenty support from talented, super-smart colleagues.
