“We believe the future of global banking will be borderless, real-time, and intelligent,

“We’re building a modern alternative, a single platform that powers global banking, payments, billing, treasury, and spend on top of proprietary financial infrastructure,
“This capital will accelerate our growth, extend our technical leadership, and strengthen our position in the U.S. and across key markets worldwide,” he added.

The firm’s annualized transaction volume also doubled year on year to more than $235 billion in October.
Besides, approximately half of Airwallex’s customer base now uses multiple products, underscoring expanding product-market fit.

“With its global financial infrastructure, software and AI capabilities, the company is exceptionally well positioned to lead the future of global business banking,” said Lee Fixel at Addition.
In conjunction with the fundraise, Airwallex also announced a second global headquarters in San Francisco to position core product, engineering, strategic partnerships and go-to-market teams at the epicenter of global AI innovation and talent.
The U.S. market is a key focus within Airwallex’s global strategy – the company plans to double its U.S. headcount to more than 400 employees over the next 12 months and is doubling its San Francisco office space to support this growth.
Founded in Australia in 2015, Airwallex currently has a global workforce of over 2,000 people and plans to expand its team by more than 50% by the end of 2026.
This growth will fuel continued investment in its infrastructure and partnerships worldwide.
Airwallex is also building a team of specialized AI agents to execute real financial workflows, laying the foundation for a fully autonomous finance department.
These agents leverage contextual signals across payments, treasury, and spend activity to automate high-value, multi-step operations – from expense approvals and policy checks to end-to-end task orchestration.
Hundreds of purpose-built agents will soon expand across the platform, enabling businesses to operate with greater speed, accuracy, and significantly less manual effort.
“As AI lowers software costs, infrastructure and data become the ultimate differentiator. Airwallex connects the full spectrum of a customer’s financial operations – money in, money out, and everything in between, giving our agents the contextual data to execute with precision,
“This proprietary visibility, built on our scalable financial infrastructure, is what powers agentic finance,” Zhang added.
First to launch is the suite of AI agents within Airwallex’s spend management platform.
The Expense Submission Agent, live today, collects receipts from various sources, automatically matches them to transactions, categorizes the expense, and populates all required fields for seamless submission.
Meanwhile, the Expense Policy Agent, available in the coming weeks, verifies the receipt’s validity, reviews the submission against company policy, and flags any potential exceptions for manual review before final approval.
The Spend Agents are designed to deliver stronger controls, significantly fewer manual workflows, and shorter month-end cycles for customers.
