Do you still only allow transfers between different currencies? I tried to use Transferwise once but lost interest when I realised I couldn't send my friend the currency we were both using.

Their unique selling point is in fact very good conversion rates between currencies.

However they don't support ALL currencies. Sometimes the support a currency one way only.

They advertised it as being "cheap international transfers" and I was excited but they don't allow EUR<->EUR which makes it basically useless for most of my cases.
