Airwallex

Airwallex is a leading global payments platform that simplifies cross-border transactions for businesses. Founded in 2015 in Melbourne, Australia, the company has rapidly evolved from a small startup into a powerhouse, processing over $130 billion in annualized transaction volume and serving more than 150,000 businesses worldwide. With an estimated annualized revenue of $800 million by mid-2025, Airwallex is on track to surpass the $1 billion mark by year-end, driven by its innovative suite of products, including corporate cards, treasury accounts, and embedded finance solutions.

What sets Airwallex apart is its proprietary financial infrastructure, which allows it to process 93% of transactions independently, significantly reducing costs and improving transaction speed compared to traditional banks. This infrastructure-first approach enables Airwallex to offer competitive pricing and a seamless experience for businesses, particularly in the saturated neobanking ecosystem. The company has also diversified its revenue streams, with over 50% of gross profit coming from higher-margin domestic payments and card issuing.

As Airwallex continues to expand its geographical reach and product offerings, including plans to enter the lending and crypto markets, it is well-positioned to capture a larger share of the $100 trillion global cross-border payments market. With a vision to become a comprehensive financial operating system for tech-focused companies, Airwallex is committed to driving innovation and growth in the financial services landscape.
