Our take
Wise started when the two founders realised they would be better off trading Estonian kroons for British pounds (and vice versa) between themselves rather than going through banks. That was back in 2011, and they've since grown Wise into one of Europe's most successful tech businesses, exchanging billions of currency every month.
Wise rapidly grew by solving a significant problem for customers, who lost too much money to banks when exchanging currency. They've attracted investment from some of the best investors in the world, from Andreesen Horowitz to Index Ventures and even Richard Branson.
The challenge for Wise will be maintaining their edge and brand power in a market that's becoming increasingly crowded with new entrants (like Revolut and Monzo) and incumbents (traditional banks) trying to catch up. To do so, the company is ramping up its digital and marketing strategies, as well as pushing for further development of its existing products.

Growth is self led here and there are heaps of opportunities to do side by sides with other teams to learn more about what they do. Being a scaling business also means that priorities shift. This means that you're constantly learning something new to enable our mission.

Money without borders is something I feel very aligned to, and Wise do a great job of connecting us all so we can understand our individual impact on our mission. Banks still charge extortionate fees for cross-border payments and we're helping democratise and driving transparency in International Banking for our customers.

I joined Wise in April 2022 and have a genuinely great experience. The Sunday dread is gone for the first time in my career. The Wise mission of Money Without Boarders is so important to people all around the world and Wise has built a platform for transparency in an industry that tries to hide. I love to hear the impact that Wise is making on a daily basis to people's lives.

The key aspect that I have learnt while working at Wise is that you are trusted to do your job. As long as you are doing your job, the rest is up to you. So I go to the gym during the day and am around every evening for family and friends!

Diversity is critical to the way Wise works across all of our teams. Last month we worked with the Black Young Professionals group to support the team and support the applications of diverse groups. Our head of DE&I is also supporting everyone to make huge progress in building a diverse company that everyone feels welcome in.
