The money transfer company, which was formerly known as TransferWise, floated in a record-breaking London listing in July 2021. It was one of the biggest flotations of that year, and the largest London tech listing in history.
It made its stock market debut via a direct listing rather than selling shares at a set price in advance.
A statement released by CMC, says, “The fintech, which was formerly known as TransferWise is also the most searched in nine countries, among them Estonia, with 6,300 average monthly searches, as well as Norway, Turkey, and Ukraine.”
