Rowe Price, Activant, Lingotto, Robinhood Ventures and TIAA Ventures. The round values the company at US$8 billion, representing a nearly 30% increase in just six months since its Series F.

Reflecting its growing commitment to the U.S. market, Airwallex has established a second global headquarters in San Francisco and plans to invest more than US$1 billion between 2026 and 2029 to scale operations, grow its workforce and expand its physical presence.
CEO Jack Zhang said the future of global banking will be borderless, intelligent and real-time, adding that traditional systems were not designed for modern business needs. He noted that Airwallex is building a single platform that connects global banking, payments, treasury and spend management on top of proprietary infrastructure. Zhang said the investment will extend the company’s momentum in the U.S. and other key markets.

Strong 2025 operating performance contributed to robust investor interest in the funding round. The company surpassed US$1 billion in annualised revenue in October, up 90% year over year, while transaction volume doubled to more than US$235 billion. Almost half of Airwallex’s customers now use multiple products, reflecting growing platform adoption. Airwallex holds more than 80 licences globally and expanded regulated capabilities in 12 additional markets this year.
As part of its long-term strategy, Airwallex is building specialised AI agents designed to automate complex finance operations, enabling companies to execute tasks such as expense validation, policy checks and workflow orchestration. Zhang said this lays the foundation for autonomous finance across global businesses as data becomes a competitive advantage.
