TransferGo — How to Track Your International Transfer
TransferGo built its name on near-instant EU bank-to-bank transfers using SEPA Instant. Strong in CEE migrant worker corridors (UK → Romania, Poland, Lithuania, etc.). Rarely relevant for Ohmyfin — TransferGo deliberately avoids SWIFT for speed and cost. Only large or exotic-corridor transfers may carry a UETR.
