In today’s borderless economy, your financial tools should be as agile and global as your business. Traditional banks, with their slow processing times, excessive paperwork, and hidden fees, often act as an anchor rather than an engine for growth. Enter Airwallex—the all-in-one financial platform designed to streamline your global operations and keep more of your hard-earned profit.
Whether you are an e-commerce seller, a startup scaling internationally, or an established enterprise, here is why Airwallex is the superior choice for your financial management.
1. Banking Like a Local, Anywhere
One of the biggest hurdles in international business is collecting payments. Traditional banks often force costly currency conversions or require you to set up local entities just to open a bank account.
Airwallex solves this with Global Accounts. You can instantly open domestic bank accounts in key markets like the US, UK, EU, and Hong Kong—without leaving your desk. This allows you to collect funds from customers in their local currency (USD, GBP, EUR, etc.) just as if you were a local business, eliminating unnecessary conversion fees.
2. Unbeatable Cost Savings on FX and Transfers
If you regularly pay international suppliers or staff, you know that bank fees add up. Traditional banks often hide their profit margins in poor exchange rates, sometimes charging a markup of 3% to 6% on top of transfer fees.
Airwallex offers a transparent, cost-effective alternative:
- Market-Leading Rates: You get access to interbank exchange rates with a small, transparent margin (often as low as 0.5%–1%), potentially saving you up to 80% on FX fees compared to high-street banks.
- Zero International Fees: When you use Airwallex Corporate Cards for international expenses, you pay 0% transaction fees, whereas most banks charge around 3% per transaction.
3. Lightning-Fast Speed and Efficiency
Time is money. Waiting 3–5 days for a SWIFT transfer to clear is no longer acceptable. Airwallex utilizes local payment rails instead of the slow SWIFT network for many transactions. The result? 93% of funds arrive the very same day, ensuring your supply chain never stalls and your staff are paid on time.
4. Total Control Over Company Spend
Managing team expenses can be a logistical nightmare. With Airwallex, you can issue instant multi-currency corporate cards (virtual or physical) to your employees.
- Built-in Controls: Set spending limits per card, restrict merchant categories, and track expenses in real-time.
- Automated Bookkeeping: The platform integrates seamlessly with software like Xero, NetSuite, and QuickBooks. Receipts are automatically synced, saving your finance team hours of manual data entry.
5. Trusted and Secure
Security is paramount when handling business funds. Airwallex is trusted by over 200,000 businesses globally, including innovative brands like Sheet Society and Orbitkey. Your funds are safeguarded in line with local regulations, held with leading global financial institutions to ensure maximum safety.
