Airwallex describes itself as an AI native financial operating system for modern businesses, building global banking infrastructure for a borderless, real-time, intelligent economy. Its regulated backbone powers products including payment acceptance, billing, global accounts, corporate cards and spend management. The company announced T:0, an AI-native financial platform designed to run a business's full finance function end to end, automating bookkeeping, forecasting, taxes, compliance and reporting from day zero, then in private beta. It also said it is building a team of specialized AI agents that use contextual signals across payments, treasury and spend activity to automate multi-step…

On 25 June 2026 Airwallex announced $320 million in Series H funding at an $11 billion valuation, up from $8 billion in December 2025, led by returning investor Addition with participation from Baillie Gifford, Hummingbird, QED Investors, T. Rowe Price, Hedosophia, Haun Ventures, Washington University in St. Louis and Amex Ventures. The same announcement introduced T:0, an AI-native finance platform in private beta, and stated the capital would fund autonomous finance and agentic commerce products plus expansion of its infrastructure and regulatory footprint into new markets. In March 2026 the company reported $1.3 billion in annualized revenue, up 74% year-over-year, and $287 billion in an…

Airwallex announced a second global headquarters in San Francisco alongside its Series G, stating the move positions core product, engineering, strategic partnerships and go-to-market teams at the center of global AI innovation and talent. The company said it plans to double its U.S. headcount to more than 400 employees over the next 12 months and to double its San Francisco office space to support that growth. It also said it will deploy more than $1 billion from 2026-2029 to scale U.S. operations, attract talent and expand its physical and brand footprint, and that it plans to expand its global team by more than 50% by the end of 2026.

Airwallex states that the Series H investment will help it expand its infrastructure and regulatory footprint into new markets and continue scaling the teams building its next generation AI native financial software. It frames its ten years of work building licenses, local network integrations and settlement rails as the infrastructure the agentic economy needs, and says the new capital lets it move faster into autonomous finance and agentic commerce. The company reports holding 85+ licenses across North America, Europe, the Middle East and Asia-Pacific, and serving more than 676,000 businesses worldwide.

Airwallex's CEO Jack Zhang states that legacy providers are fundamentally incompatible with how modern businesses operate and that the company is building a modern alternative: a single platform powering global banking, payments, billing, treasury and spend on top of proprietary financial infrastructure. He describes the company as pulling ahead in the race to define the category and says the capital will extend its technical leadership and strengthen its position in the U.S. and key markets worldwide. The company positions its decade of licenses, local network integrations and settlement rails as the foundation for the agentic economy.
