Airwallex has raised US$330 million in a Series G funding round led by Addition, with participation from T. Rowe Price, Activant, Lingotto, Robinhood Ventures, and TIAA Ventures.

The round values the company at US$8 billion, a roughly 30% increase since its Series F six months ago.

The funding will support growth in the US and other key markets, alongside expanded AI recruitment and product development.

The company has established a second global headquarters in San Francisco and plans to invest over US$1 billion from 2026 to 2029 to scale US operations, attract talent, and extend its presence.

“We believe the future of global banking will be borderless, real-time, and intelligent,”

said Jack Zhang, co-founder and CEO.

“Legacy providers are fundamentally incompatible with how modern businesses operate. We’re building a modern alternative, a single platform that powers global banking, payments, billing, treasury, and spend on top of proprietary financial infrastructure. This capital will accelerate our growth, extend our technical leadership, and strengthen our position in the US and across key markets worldwide.”

Airwallex reported annualised revenue of more than US$1 billion in October, up 90% year-on-year, and annualised transaction volume of over US$235 billion, doubling year-on-year.

Around half of its customers use multiple products.

The company holds 80 licenses worldwide, enabling operations in more than 200 countries.

It expanded regulated operations in 12 new markets in 2025, including France, the Netherlands, Israel, Canada, Korea, Japan, New Zealand, Malaysia, Vietnam, Brazil, Mexico, and the UAE.

The San Francisco office will house core product, engineering, partnerships, and go-to-market teams.

The company plans to double its US headcount to over 400 employees within 12 months.

Airwallex currently employs over 2,000 people globally. It expects to increase its workforce by more than 50% by the end of 2026.

The company is developing AI agents to automate financial workflows across payments, treasury, and spend.

The first, an Expense Submission Agent, collects receipts, matches transactions, categorises expenses, and completes submissions.

A forthcoming Expense Policy Agent will verify submissions against company policies, reducing manual review and streamlining processes.
