"TransferWise, the London-based startup that wants to make\u00A0transferring\u00A0money between currencies effortless and inexpensive, has finally launched a native Android app.\r\n\r\nTransferWise is a peer-to-peer service that sidesteps bank fees and lets you switch money directly to users in other countries. Though it has previously had an app available on Google Play, it was actually just a shortcut to its website and lacked any real \u2018native\u2019 functionality. Today's news comes six months after it rolled out a version for iPhone-users. \r\n\r\n\r\nThe free app is compatible with Android 2.3+, and lets you transfer money to anyone, anywhere in the world.\r\n\u00A0\u00A0\u00A0 \r\nIn the three years since launch, the company claims to have transferred more than \u00A31 billion of customers\u2019 money. There has been an eightfold increase in transfers since last May, when PayPal co-founder Peter Thiel led a $6 million investment round with Valar Ventures.\r\n\r\n\u27A4\u00A0 TransferWise | Google Play"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
