Proud of what we've built so far with @McLarenF1, and looking forward to what's next!
We're taking our partnership with @McLarenF1 up a gear.
Starting in January 2027, Airwallex becomes the team's first Official AI Finance Partner.
The race continues. 🧡

We're teaming up with @OpenTable!
When we started @Airwallex, we wanted to make it easier for businesses to operate globally, without having to figure out banking and payments in every new market.
We've spent the last 10 years building the infrastructure to make that possible, and partnerships like this are a reminder of how many different businesses can benefit from what we've built.
OpenTable serves 70,000+ restaurants around the world, and we're excited to help make payments across markets a little easier for them.
Looking forward to expanding into more markets together!
We’re partnering with @OpenTable 🍽️
OpenTable connects diners around the world with 70,000+ restaurants, many of them neighborhood businesses. We’re excited to help them thrive across markets.
Starting in the US, and Canada, with Australia and Mexico planned later this year.

Introducing Agentic Business Accounts.
One of the biggest requests from customers was being able to manage all their entities & accounts in one place.
Today, that’s live.
We revamped Business Accounts entirely so you can have a single view across your currencies, balances & accounts, then switch between them when you need to go deeper.
This has been a lot of work in the making, and this new foundation unlocks what we’re even more excited for you to try: agents working across your financial operations within the rules and approvals you set.
AgentOS (our toolkit for AI agents) can now do a lot more work on your behalf, like moving liquidity, managing FX or putting idle cash to work.
Give it a try and let us know what you’d want us to build next 🫡

Turn a Slack thread into a customer invoice, with human approval built in.
We vibe-coded a reference demo with @airwallex + @Replit that:
1. Extracts the price
2. Creates a draft
3. Issues a one-time invoice after approval
Try it: airwallexdev.com/builds#invo…
Remix it: replit.com/github/awx-devx/a…

We’ve raised $320M at an $11B valuation, led by Addition.
AI is changing how companies are built. Teams are smaller, global from day one, and using agents more. We’ve spent 10 years building the financial rails for that world.
We’re now building the intelligent layer on top.

For years, the design industry has talked about "design vs code"
And tools (including Figma!) have forced a choice.
But this is a false debate. Code isn't the opposite of design. Code is a material for design.
So we're bringing code to the Figma canvas with Code Layers.

We’ve shipped a lot of meaningful improvements to our AI assistant since it launched in February.
It now understands your business context, helps you onboard faster, and takes actions across 100+ tools and workflows.
At that point, “AI assistant” felt too small.
So we named it Kai.

Airwallex is acquiring @Leapfin to help global finance teams close the books faster and with more confidence.
Together, we'll help businesses move from accepting payments all the way through to revenue recognition, reconciliation, and financial close.
🧡Welcome to the team, @Leapfin!
Excited to announce that @airwallex has acquired @leapfin.
The Leapfin team has built one of the strongest platforms for turning complex transaction data into clean, auditable financial records.
Their product solves a real pain point for modern finance teams, and we’re excited to bring their technology and expertise into Airwallex.
Excited to welcome @raymond_lau, @eya0 and the entire Leapfin team to Airwallex and build what comes next together.

Most fintech companies started in the world's biggest markets and expanded outward.
Most were built in Silicon Valley, with Silicon Valley assumptions.
We started on the other side of the world, in a Melbourne coffee shop.
Outsiders, by every measure.
So we went deeper than anyone wanted to. Reimagining correspondent banking from first principles, not abstracting away the old system but replacing it.
Years of obtaining licenses, building infrastructure, and shipping every financial product a growing business needs including intelligent finance.
Bank accounts in 70+ countries. Treasury across 25+ currencies. Cards, spend management, bill pay, multi-entity, all on one platform.
Built so the whole world feels like your home market.
Now AI means the builders are everywhere.
Global financial infrastructure has always been the hard part.
Ours took eleven years to build, and it's ready for you on day one.
