TransferWise, the money transfer service founded in 2011, has announced that it is rebranding to Wise. Wisely, the company has acquired the Wise.com domain, too.

Founded in London by Kristo Kaarmann and Taavet Hinrikus, Wise quickly built a reputation as one of the easiest means of transferring money, especially from country to country.

Big moves! TransferWise is great, they've saved me a small fortune in fx fees from international clients.

Beautiful name. Not sure about the typeface for the logo though, I liked their old one :nailbiting:.

They must be making lots of money.

Actually Transfer.com would be much more limiting as a brand. This move gives them room to grow and expand.

"We’ve changed our name to Wise because we’re so much more than transfers."

They are moving beyond just money transfers. Hence, the change to Wise.

Must have paid big bucks for wise dot com. It's a good, and typical, business model for a business to move up beyond its original domain name to a shorter, better one.

I guess you can say it's a WISE move.

Although transfer.com would have made more sense.

A wise move indeed. Wise.com is a fantastic, short, meaningful name.

Finally a marketing manager that gets it unlike the Teespring idiots.

Companies that pay attention to domain names are bound to become big companies!

They know the power of having a short brand name.
