Airwallex, a global financial platform for modern businesses, raised $330 million in a Series G funding round, led by Addition and with participation from T. Rowe Price, Activant, Lingotto, Robinhood Ventures and TIAA Ventures. The financing values Airwallex at “$8 billion, a ~30% increase since its Series F six months ago.”
The investment will fuel Airwallex’s growth in the U.S. and other markets worldwide, while also driving “expanded AI hiring and product development.”
Underscoring its momentum and commitment to the U.S. market, Airwallex has established a second global headquarters in San Francisco and will deploy more than “$1 billion from 2026-2029 to scale its U.S. operations, attract top talent, and expand its physical and brand footprint.”
The company’s 2025 operating performance drove “inbound interest in the round.”
Highlights include:
- Annualized revenue surpassed $1 billion in October, up 90% YoY.
- Annualized transaction volume doubled YoY to more than $235B in October.
- Approximately half of Airwallex’s customer base now uses multiple products, underscoring expanding product-market fit.
- 80 licenses and permits worldwide, enabling customers to operate in 200+ countries and regions, and power multi-currency checkout at scale.
In 2025, Airwallex extended its regulated footprint and local capabilities in 12 new markets – securing new licenses and “launching products across France, the Netherlands, Israel, Canada, Korea, Japan, New Zealand, Malaysia, Vietnam, Brazil, Mexico, the UAE.”
In conjunction with the fundraise, Airwallex also announced a second global headquarters in San Francisco to “position core product, engineering, strategic partnerships and go-to-market teams at the epicenter of global AI innovation and talent.”
The U.S. market is a key focus within Airwallex’s strategy – the company plans to double its U.S. headcount to 400+ employees “over the next 12 months and is doubling its San Francisco office space to support this growth.”
Founded in Australia in 2015, Airwallex currently has a workforce of over 2,000 people and plans to “expand its team by more than 50% by the end of 2026.”
This growth will fuel continued “investment in its infrastructure and partnerships worldwide.”
Airwallex is building a team of specialized AI agents to “execute real financial workflows, laying the foundation for a fully autonomous finance department.”
These agents leverage contextual signals across payments, treasury, and spend activity to “automate high-value, multi-step operations – from expense approvals and policy checks to end-to-end task orchestration.”
Purpose-built agents will expand across the platform, “enabling businesses to operate with greater speed, accuracy, and significantly less manual effort.”
First to launch is the suite of AI agents within Airwallex’s spend management platform.
The Expense Submission Agent “collects receipts from various sources, automatically matches them to transactions, categorizes the expense, and populates all required fields for seamless submission.”
The Expense Policy Agent verifies the receipt’s validity, “reviews the submission against company policy, and flags any potential exceptions for manual review before final approval.”
Whether managing expenses or executing procure-to-pay workflows, the Spend Agents are reportedly designed to deliver better “controls, fewer manual workflows, and shorter month-end cycles for customers.”
