Using the opportunity to pressure TW to expand into more markets. Why only focus on the EEA countries? Come on, expand onto whole Europe/world, if Payoneer/Skrill can do it, you can too.

Edit: make debit cards available anywhere.



Coverage is pretty comprehensive https://transferwise.com/ available in 59 countries (see half way down the home page)

The borderless bank account seems available in a ton of countires too - https://transferwise.com/gb/borderless/


I suppose being a European company, there are more regulations at play.

Payoneer is US based.

Skrill is UK based, and I don't think they have prepaid debit cards? Even if they do, nobody should use them. They were moneybookers once, and from first hand experience, they are highly unpredictable when it comes to fees and conversion rates.

Revolut is also European and doesn't offer debit cards throughout the world.
