Transferwise Borderless account

I was making a transfer this afternoon and came across the Borderless Account.  I don't know how long this has been a thing, but it looks interesting.  Have a look:

Thanks  - I saw someone mention this here on UK-Y the other day, but I haven't looked into it myself yet.

I use it to receive EUR from people and then later on pay out in EUR. Doing that avoids exchange rates completely and costs only 0.60 EUR to pay out.

I have given the EUR bank details to people to get money, transferred directly to other people's EUR accounts and transferred direct from my USD credit union account into this EUR account.
