Oh and by the way this does not belong in "Patentcenter".  I suggest this belongs in the "Patentpractice" listserv.

I had not heard of any "Rewise" until now.  But I clicked around on the Internet and found this news release:

It looks like maybe a year ago there was a company called "Rewire" and maybe it got purchased by a company called "Remitly".

Just now I logged in at Wise and looked at my firm's balances and clicked a few more times, and I did not see anything about "Rewire".

I'm trying to send money and suddenly it's asking me to download an app for something called "rewire" and to sign up for an account with "rewire".  Has anyone else encountered this? I'm wondering if transferwise sold out to another company and is no longer as easily usable as it was.
