Duly noted. I havant used the app, I use a saved link for their website.

Yeah I was surprised and never gave it a thought until I'd gone through the whole process and was waiting for the money to arrive and it then dawned on me that the 'reason' had not been asked for.  Had visions of the transaction getting heavily delayed or even rejected, but nope.  Arrived safe and sound.  Normally I prefer using the app, one less need to log on via the laptop as I can also make the payment to TW using my UK bank mobile app.  Makes for a very easy and fast process.

I did write a post comparing fees and exchange rates of various money transfer companies, including transferwise.
