TransferGo

TransferGo is a fintech founded in 2012 and headquartered in London, specialising in international money transfers with a specific focus on a historically underserved segment: immigrant workers from Eastern and Central Europe sending remittances to their families back home. Born to serve the Lithuanian, Polish, and Ukrainian diaspora working in the UK, TransferGo built a fast, affordable, and reliable transfer corridor to dozens of Eastern European, Central Asian, and other countries. The value proposition rests on three pillars: speed (transfers in hours or instant to many destinations), low fees (well below traditional Western Union or SWIFT), and ease of use via mobile app. TransferGo has surpassed 8 million customers and processes billions of euros in annual volumes, with particularly active corridors to Ukraine, Poland, Romania, Lithuania, and India. User acquisition is partly driven by a powerful referral programme — migrants recommend the service to one another — and partly by partnerships with communities and organisations serving European diasporas. TransferGo sits in the competitive international transfer market alongside Wise, Remitly, and WorldRemit, differentiating through depth of coverage for East European corridors.
