Airwallex has secured $300 million in a Series F funding round, which has increased its valuation to $6.2 billion. The round included $150 million in secondary share transfers and drew support from major investors, including Square Peg, DST Global, Lone Pine Capital, Blackbird, Airtree, Salesforce Ventures, and Australian pension funds, with Visa Ventures joining as a strategic investor. This brings the company’s total funding to over $1.2 billion. The new capital will support the company’s continued expansion into markets such as Japan, Korea, the UAE, and Latin America, and will also drive product development and sales growth across Europe, North America, and Southeast Asia.
Founded to address inefficiencies in traditional financial infrastructure, Airwallex has built a proprietary system that connects directly to local and international payment networks. This platform allows businesses to send, receive, and manage funds across more than 150 countries, with most transactions processed within hours. Jack Zhang, Co-Founder and CEO of Airwallex, stated, “Too many businesses are held back by legacy infrastructure that’s slow, costly, and fragmented. At Airwallex, we’re building a new foundation for the global economy – one that’s fast, seamless, and built for scale. This investment marks a major milestone in our journey to redefine global banking, and to empower businesses everywhere to grow without limits.” With recent office openings across the Americas, Europe, and the Middle East, Airwallex continues to increase its reach and services for businesses operating across borders.
