Airwallex has been named number 3 in the Finance and Personal Finance category of the World’s Most Innovative Companies of 2025 by Fast Company. This list shines a spotlight on businesses that are shaping industry and culture through their innovations to set new standards and achieve remarkable milestones in all sectors of the economy.“Innovation is at the core of Airwallex’s DNA. When building Airwallex, we didn’t enhance an existing system but orchestrated a complete rethinking of how global businesses move and manage money,” said Jack Zhang, CEO and Co-founder of Airwallex. “This recognition reaffirms what we’ve always believed: real innovation means solving the biggest challenges in global business, not just making incremental changes.”Airwallex was built with a single purpose in mind: to create a world where all businesses can operate without borders and restrictions, and by doing so, propel the growth of the global digital economy. In just a few clicks, Airwallex customers can open a Global Account, which serves as a multi-currency wallet with local bank details – allowing customers to almost instantly set up and start collecting payments from customers worldwide, in whatever currencies they choose.Customers can make payments to more than 150 countries, with clear information on the conversion rates and markups applied compared to interbank rates, and certainty on when the money will land in the recipient’s account. Over 90% of Airwallex’s transactions go through local rails, and approximately 90% of transactions arrive within a few hours/same day

Payments FinTech Airwallex has launched a partnership with Discover Global Network.The collaboration, announced Monday (March 17), lets Airwallex merchants accept Discover, Diners Club and other domestic scheme cards as a payment method.“Our collaboration with Discover Global Network reflects our dedication to broadening payment acceptance for businesses worldwide,” Kai Wu, chief revenue officer for Airwallex, said in a news release.“By enabling Discover and Diners Club International Card transactions, we are providing merchants with more choices to meet their customers’ preferences, ultimately helping them scale internationally and drive growth.”According to the release, Airwallex merchants can now accept these cards throughout multiple regions including Australia, Europe, Hong Kong, Singapore and the United Kingdom.“In doing so, businesses may experience reductions in cart abandonment and spikes in customer satisfaction due to an enhanced checkout experience that enables them to pay with their preferred cards,” Airwallex said.And card choice can be critical, as research by PYMNTS Intelligence has found. As noted here last fall, “70% of consumers consider the availability of their preferred payment method to be very or extremely influential when choosing an online store. This preference appears to be a driver of cart abandonment rates across online platforms.”Online marketplaces appear to have a competitive advantage in this area, the research found, with 53% of consumers arguing that online marketplaces are the best at offering their preferred payment methods.“In contrast, only 22% of consumers hold the same view about brand websites,” PYMNTS wrote. “This disparity may explain why brand websites experience higher cart abandonment rates, with an average of eight abandonments in the last 30 days compared to six on retailers’ sites and seven on online marketplaces.”Additional research found that 60% of middle-market merchants struggle with the user experience during checkout, with slow checkout times and abandoned carts ranking among their most common headaches.Meanwhile, Airwallex last month launched a partnership with business services provider Vistra, integrating Airwallex’s business account and embedded finance products into Vistra’s platform.“Through this integration, Vistra’s clients can now execute on the two most important tasks of operating internationally using its platform, establishing an entity and enabling the entity to transact by way of opening a global business account,” the companies said in a news release.In addition, Vistra customers get access to “the competitive foreign exchange coverage offered by Airwallex’s 24/7 pricing,” the companies added

Leading Australian-founded global financial platform, Airwallex, has launched its ‘Shifted Perspectives’ campaign for the 2025 Formula 1 season with the McLaren Formula 1 Team and acclaimed First Nations artist, Reko Rennie.Over 300 guests attended Airwallex’s Shifted Perspectives event in Melbourne, for the highly anticipated unveiling of the McLaren Artura featuring Rennie’s bold design and a fireside chat with the artist and Australian F1 hero, Oscar Piastri (pictured).The event marked an exciting moment in the lead-up to the F1 Australian Grand Prix, which commences with Practice Sessions on Friday (14 March), with Oscar Piastri leading the Australian charge. Airwallex, McLaren and Reko Rennie SupercarAs an Official Partner of the McLaren Formula 1 Team, Airwallex has elevated the partnership through a creative collaboration with Reko Rennie, an internationally renowned Kamilaroi artist. Rennie’s bold, thought-provoking work explores Indigenous identity and modern urban culture, and his vision for this project embodies the concept of ‘shifting perspectives’.Rennie uses camouflage and graphic diamond patterns to cover the car – the diamond shape is one of his most utilised motifs and pays homage to his Kamilaroi heritage in a form similar to a family crest. The hand-drawn symbols and repetitive patterning are used to subvert romantic ideologies of Aboriginal identity. His bespoke design transformed the McLaren Artura Coupe – a high-performance hybrid supercar – into a striking sculptural installation, blending art and performance, as well as Airwallex and McLaren’s spirit of innovation.“At Airwallex, we’re always looking for ways to push boundaries and create unexpected moments that provoke thought,” said Jon Stona, VP, Global Marketing, Airwallex. “Seeing Reko’s design come to life on the McLaren Artura was a truly special moment. Just like McLaren challenges conventions on the track, and Oscar Piastri takes on the world’s best in F1, we want to encourage Australian businesses to shift their perspectives, take bold steps, and scale globally.”Reko Rennie added, “Unveiling this design in front of a live audience has been incredible
