SAN FRANCISCO: Airwallex, a leading global payments and financial platform for modern businesses, has completed a $300 million Series F funding round at a $6.2 billion valuation.
Airwallex will use the funding to continue expanding its financial infrastructure into new markets including Japan, Korea, the UAE, and Latin America, and to accelerate go-to-market efforts in Europe, North America, and Southeast Asia.
The round includes $150 million in secondary share transfers. The new investment, which brings Airwallex’s total funding to more than $1.2 billion, includes Square Peg, DST Global, Lone Pine Capital, Blackbird, Airtree, Salesforce Ventures, and several leading pension funds in Australia. Visa Ventures also joins as a strategic investor. Airwallex will use the additional capital to expand its global infrastructure into new markets and continue refining and scaling the software that empowers businesses to operate anywhere, anytime.
“The global financial system wasn’t built for today’s borderless economy,” Jack Zhang, co-founder and CEO of Airwallex, said. “Too many businesses are held back by legacy infrastructure that’s slow, costly, and fragmented. At Airwallex, we’re building a new foundation for the global economy – one that’s fast, seamless, and built for scale. This investment marks a major milestone in our journey to redefine global banking, and to empower businesses everywhere to grow without limits.”
In March 2025, Airwallex achieved $720 million in annualized revenue, up 90% year-over-year, and exceeded $130 billion in global annualized payments volume. The company grew its customer base by 50% in 2024 – now serving 150,000 businesses worldwide. In 2025, Airwallex expects to hit $1 billion in annual run rate revenue.
Airwallex has seen accelerated growth in the Americas and EMEA regions over the past four years, with gross profit growing at a CAGR of more than 250% in both regions. In 2024, Airwallex moved into a permanent U.S. headquarters in San Francisco and recently opened new offices in New York and Toronto. Following the receipt of a payment institution license in Brazil and approval to close its acquisition of MexPago, a Mexico-based payment service provider, Airwallex is poised to launch services in Latin America’s two largest economies.
In Europe, Airwallex recently opened a new office in Paris and made a series of senior hires in London and Amsterdam. In the Middle East, Airwallex made its first hires in the United Arab Emirates – in both Abu Dhabi and Dubai – and continued to grow strongly in Israel.
