The financial platform for your global ambition. Global spend & expense management solution.
Airwallex is our top pick for managing international payments and multi-currency business operations.
It’’s a full-stack financial platform built for global business. With Airwallex, you can spin up local business accounts in multiple currencies, pay contractors around the world, hold and spend money without being forced into conversions, and manage team expenses all from one dashboard.
We’ve used it ourselves, and the experience couldn’t have been easier. The first time we paid our Australian video editor through Airwallex, he simply sent us a US-based bank account (powered by Airwallex), and we paid him in USD like he lived down the street. No FX headaches. No clunky setup. It just worked.
If you have vendors or customers oversea's, Airwallex is seriously a must-have for your business. Instead of piecing together tools like Wise, PayPal, your bank, expense management solutions, and virtual cards, Airwallex takes care of ALL of it for you.
And the best part? Business accounts are free, so go ahead and sign-up for an account.
