For anyone unfamiliar with Transferwise who Bondora use for UK investors deposits, there is some interesting information here:

Thanks for the link - I think I read about Branson's investment in the UK domestic press too, but I can't recall where.

TransferWise seem to have a rather neat idea and are making it work well - my experiences have been positive so far.

The UK and London in particular does seem to be the place to be right now for inovative "FinTech" start-ups...I guess I am buying the hype ;-)

My experience with them has been very good too.

Transferwise had a very good 'press' recently on BBC radio 4s Moneybox (I caught most of it but my milling machine is a tad noisy!) and I believe the investment was mentioned during the interview - good luck to them, very impressed .......
