Global financial platform Airwallex has recently secured a significant Series G funding round, bringing in USD 330 million. This substantial investment lifts the company’s valuation to an impressive USD 8 billion.
The funding was led by Addition and featured participation from notable investors such as T. Rowe Price, Activant, Lingotto, Robinhood Ventures, and TIAA Ventures. With these funds, Airwallex aims to drive its expansion in the United States and key international markets, enhance AI hiring efforts, and boost product development.
Since May 2025, when Airwallex raised USD 300 million through a Series F round (including USD 150 million from secondary share transfers), its valuation has surged by approximately 30%. This round also included investments from Square Peg, DST Global, Lone Pine Capital, Blackbird, Airtree, Salesforce Ventures, and several Australian pension funds. Visa Ventures participated as a strategic investor.
Airwallex’s U.S. Expansion and New Headquarters
To support its growing presence in the United States, Airwallex has established a second global headquarters in San Francisco. The company plans to invest over USD 1 billion between 2026 and 2029 for regional expansion, talent acquisition, and enhanced physical and brand footprint.
Jack Zhang, co-founder and CEO of Airwallex, stated that the company is committed to providing a modern alternative to traditional financial services. The goal is to create a unified platform covering global banking, payments, billing, treasury, spend management, and financial infrastructure. The influx of capital will enable faster growth, strengthen technical expertise, and reinforce the company’s market position globally.
AI Integration into Financial Operations
Airwallex is actively building an AI team to execute real financial workflows autonomously. These agents use contextual signals from payments, treasury, and spend activities to automate complex processes.
In line with this strategy, Airwallex will first roll out a suite of AI agents within its spend management platform. The Expense Submission Agent has been launched, collecting receipts from multiple sources, automatically matching them to transactions, categorizing the expense, and populating all necessary fields for streamlined submission.
The next phase involves the Expense Policy Agent, which validates receipt authenticity, reviews submissions against company policies, and flags potential exceptions for manual review before final approval. These innovations are expected to boost operational efficiency, accuracy, and reduce manual effort across business operations.
