Airwallex

Cross-border payments and financial infrastructure for global businesses.
Airwallex provides global financial infrastructure for businesses — multi-currency accounts, FX, cross-border payments, corporate cards and embedded finance APIs — on 85+ regulatory licenses across North America, Europe, the Middle East and Asia-Pacific. It reported $1.3B in annualized revenue (up 74% YoY) and $287B in annualized transaction volume (up more than 120%) as of March 2026, and was valued at $11B in a $320M Series H led by Addition in June 2026. Management says it is working to be IPO-ready but has deferred a listing, citing AI-investment-driven margin volatility; a US CFIUS review of its Chinese minority shareholders is an open overhang.
