With Cloud Connect, we’ve created an approach that lets TransferWise tap into Visa’s global infrastructure, one of the most secure, reliable and resilient systems in the world, through a single integration.”

Kristo Käärmann, TransferWise co-founder and CEO also commented that: “We’ve been working to remove borders in the world’s financial networks. Cards should work the same across borders too. In Visa we found a partner who shares our ambitions to make money work seamlessly no matter where you are. We’re excited to see how the outcome of our collaboration impacts the next generation of multinational financial institutions across the globe.”
