Fintech platform Airwallex officially launches in Singapore

Customers of the fintech platform will receive funds locally in SGD.

Fintech platform Airwallex has officially launched in Singapore following its beta launch in November 2021.

The fintech was granted a Major Payment Institution license by the Monetary Authority of Singapore last year.

Airwallex’s suite of payments services include a global account issuance, domestic and cross-border money transfer at market-leading rates, multi-currency wallets, and online payments acceptance, it said in a press release.

Customers of the fintech platform–which was founded in 2015–will also be able to receive funds locally in SGD.

Airwallex will progressively roll out other offerings such as multi-currency company and employee cards; spend management; and an API suite for technology-first businesses that require embedded payments. 

Airwallex operates across Asia-Pacific, Europe and North America with over 1,000 employees in 19 locations globally, including Singapore. The Singapore team is expected to quadruple by the end of 2022.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
