London fintech company launches new money transfer service between Italy and the UK

Opal Transfer, the London-based fintech company, has announced the launch of a new money transfer service between Italy and the UK.

This is an extension of the existing product – money transfer service from the UK to Italy.

Transfers from Italy to the UK cost €1 and the money will be delivered on the same day, making it one of the cheapest transfer services on the market.

This new Italy/UK service utilises Opal Transfer’s technology which enables customers to transfer funds between two countries in both directions. This is the first time a two way transfer service has been set up between two Western European countries.

Opal Transfer’s combination of a user-friendly app with a human face business model is “unique” on the market.

The new Italy to UK money transfer service has an Italian customer service team available for people to speak to service alongside an Italian version of their website and advanced app soon to be launched.

The new money transfer service is part of wider plans for Opal Transfer to expand in new markets within the next 12 months.

Gita Petkevica, Managing Director of Opal Transfer said: “The Italy to UK same day money transfer service is the next exciting step in bringing our innovative fintech product to new customers across Europe.”

“The launch of this product shows we are responding to our clients’ needs, while still offering them the best and quickest money transfer service, at the lowest cost price.”

“All fintech business need to continue to adapt and use cutting edge technology, but it is also important to remember that customers want to be able to speak to people as well.”

“Our Italian speaking customer service team is an essential part of the service. Having access to an experienced executive to resolve any issues is crucial, something too many app only services forget, leaving their customers frustrated.”

“Our business model makes money transfers easy and simple for all our customers, with access to a friendly customer service team who speak their language throughout the day, either online, on the phone or in our branches.”

“Our offer to customers is industry leading a technologically advanced app with an easy to reach customer service team which adds a human face to our fintech business.”
