Reactions when checking out the homepage:
* Huh, that is quite a bit cheaper and I don't love wise
* Is it available for US customers? I can't quite tell
* Eugh, I don't want to download an app. I'm working on my laptop right now, not my phone. I do 99% of my Wise payments on my laptop
Then reactions reading the HN comments:
* People noting that 50% cheaper is good but 99% cheaper a concern that it won't last. And the transfer fees I pay to wise are nothing compared to the headache if there was a payment issue. I agree with both of those, I'm convinced to stick with wise until I'm sure that this would be both cheaper and equally credible and low-risk / low-hassle
