I used Transferwise for the first time one month ago to transfer money from UK to Italy. I was a little nervous at first but thought it would be worth a try as future savings could be considerable compared with my regular bank. I used a link which gave me a free trial (I have posted, in turn, a similar link for other new users to try) so there wasn't anything to pay. I was really pleased with the way it worked - clear, simple and I was kept up-to-date with emails. The money arrived in my Italian account ahead of schedule. I couldn't fault it. If you want to give it a go, use the link below to get a free payment. When you use the service, you in turn will get a link and you can invite your friends etc. This is their way of marketing the service (some people might find it a bit irritating, but I understand their thinking since this is a new way of banking and personal recommendation is probably the best way for them to gain trust!). Overall, very pleased and plan to use again.
