New top story on Hacker News: Show HN: 99% cheaper international business transfers – fixed fee, real rate

Show HN: 99% cheaper international business transfers – fixed fee, real rate
17 by wdaareg | 8 comments on Hacker News.
Hello Hackers! One year ago we changed international transfers for consumers with only a fixed fee and made them on average 10x cheaper than Wise. Now we are thrilled to announce that we start “Atlantic Money for Business” to offer transfers up to £/€1m for a fixed £/€3 fee and at the current exchange rate. And while Revolut and Wise have recently raised their prices for business transfers by up to 50%, we enable savings of several thousand on every transfer. What are you waiting for?

Wilko deal to buy firm and save jobs falls through

M2 Capital claimed its £90m offer would retain employees for two years but it failed to file paperwork.
