About Directors Lab

Directors Lab is a distinguished training course provider for actors and directors. Founded by Irma in 2018, the company has carved a niche by bringing unique acting techniques from the US to Europe. 

Directors Lab collaborates with trainers from around the world to deliver exceptional training programs. This case study explores the journey of Directors Lab, its challenges with remittances, and how TransferGo has transformed its financial operations.

Challenges 

Summary: High fees, lack of control, zero transparency

Initially, Irma used the traditional banking group, Swedbank, for international transfers. The process was costly and lacked transparency, especially when sending payments to the US. The high fees she had to pay and also the unpredictable charges imposed on her trainers led her to seek alternative options.

Solution

Irma discovered TransferGo through a recommendation from her husband. The setup was quick and seamless. TransferGo provided her with a sense of control over her transactions, ensuring that payments were fast and fees were clear and affordable. This enabled her to make multiple transfers to lecturers who preferred receiving payments in installments (a practice that was previously too expensive).

Results

TransferGo met all of Irma’s needs effectively. It was much faster and cheaper compared to traditional banking. Her lecturers were pleasantly surprised by the speed of the transfers. One lecturer was so satisfied that he began recommending TransferGo to other organisers. The cost savings and efficiency were significant.

Irma finds TransferGo to be a straightforward and user-friendly product. She’s recommended it to other businesses and continues to be an advocate due to the excellent pricing and service. One of her lecturers noted that Wise, a competitor, had increased their prices, making TransferGo a more attractive option.

Irma has tentative plans to expand Directors Lab into more cities in Poland and the Baltic region. Despite the growth, she’s confident that TransferGo will continue to meet her needs, particularly for transfers to the US, UK, and non-EURO EU countries. The reliable service, competitive pricing and fee transparency are crucial for her business operations.

Directors Lab’s experience with TransferGo highlights the importance of reliable and affordable remittance services for small businesses. TransferGo has enabled Irma to focus on delivering high-quality training without worrying about the complexities and costs of international payments. As Directors Lab looks to the future, TransferGo remains a vital partner in its growth journey.
