Competitive Landscape Opportunity for disruptors, new entrants. Some of the most
notable start-ups are:

• WorldRemit (2009)
• TransferWise (2011)
• Remitly (2011)
• Azimo (2012)
• Revolut (2014)

Huge global market ruled by one, hopefully, sleeping giant.

Trend towards transparency and lower fees
In the long term, charging a customer more on FX will be to a company’s detriment,
as newer companies are following a strategy of being up front and transparent with
these cost items. More effective market research about the changing competitive
environment of international payments would have highlighted earlier to Western
Union the shift towards FX rate transparency.
As the largest Fintech “newcomer” in the Money Transfer space, Transferwise is well
positioned to become a major force in the industry because it is tapping into this trend
and gaining customers trust, increasing its market share steadily.
