The international payments and financial platform Airwallex has closed a $300 million Series F funding round, valued at $6.2 billion.
The round includes $150 million in secondary share transfers, the company said in a statement on Wednesday.
With this new investment, Airwallex now has over $1.2 billion in total funding from Square Peg, DST Global, Lone Pine Capital, Blackbird, Airtree, Salesforce Ventures, and several of Australia’s top pension funds.
Additionally, Visa Ventures becomes a strategic investor.
The extra funds will be used by Airwallex to develop and scale the software that enables companies to function anywhere, at any time, as well as to extend its global infrastructure into new markets.
“The global financial system wasn’t built for today’s borderless economy,
“Too many businesses are held back by legacy infrastructure that’s slow, costly, and fragmented,” said Jack Zhang, Co-founder and Chief Executive Officer of Airwallex.
“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,” he added.
Airwallex surpassed $130 billion in global annualized payments volume in March 2025, and its annualized revenue of $720 million was up 90% from the previous year.
In 2024, the company’s clientele increased by 50%, and it currently serves 150,000 companies globally.
Airwallex anticipates achieving $1 billion in yearly run-rate revenue by 2025.
During the last four years, Airwallex has experienced rapid expansion in the Americas and Europe, the Middle East, and Africa (EMEA) regions, with gross profit increasing at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of over 250 percent in both regions.
In addition to opening new offices in New York and Toronto, Airwallex established a permanent U.S. headquarters in San Francisco in 2024.
Airwallex is ready to start offering services in the two biggest economies in Latin America after obtaining a payment institution license in Brazil and being granted permission to complete the purchase of MexPago, a payment service provider based in Mexico, the statement said.
Airwallex recently established a new office in Paris and hired a number of senior staff members in London and Amsterdam.
Airwallex began hiring in the Middle East in the United Arab Emirates, in Abu Dhabi and Dubai, and it kept up its rapid growth in Israel.
With the money, Airwallex will speed up its go-to-market initiatives in Europe, North America, and Southeast Asia while also continuing to expand its financial infrastructure into new markets such as Japan, Korea, the United Arab Emirates (UAE), and Latin America.
