This is a newsletter about big bets, explored through conversations with the product leaders who worked on them. For this one, I chatted to Nilan Peiris, VP of Growth at Wise (formerly TransferWise) about their multi-currency account - a transformative bet that took the company well beyond their core product of cross-border payments, to offer an account that lets users hold, receive, send, and spend money in more than 50 currencies. Wise was valued at nearly £9bn after their direct listing in London in July.
