Airwallex has named Carolyn Renzin as Chief Regulatory and Compliance Officer as it expands across major global markets.

Based in New York, Renzin will lead the company’s global regulatory and compliance programme.

Renzin joins from FanDuel, where she served as Chief Legal and Compliance Officer during a period of rapid growth in the online betting and gaming sector.

Prior to that, she spent more than six years at JPMorgan Chase, where she worked on regulatory engagement and compliance remediation following the global financial crisis.

Her appointment comes as Airwallex broadens its regulated product suite in the U.S., including the recent launch of Airwallex Yield through its registered broker-dealer, Airwallex Capital US LLC.

Airwallex holds more than 85 licences and permits across North America, Europe, the Middle East and Asia Pacific.

In 2026, it expects to increase compliance spending by 70 percent year on year and grow its dedicated regulatory and compliance team by about 50 percent.

Airwallex is also using AI agents to support KYC, KYB, anti-money laundering checks and transaction monitoring.

“Our customers are operating across more markets, moving faster, and adopting AI-driven financial workflows that didn’t exist two years ago. As we expand the range of financial products and services we offer globally, that velocity and complexity raises the bar for how we manage risk and compliance.

Our customers expect us to set that bar, not just meet it. Carolyn’s experience building compliance programs at scale, across both traditional banking and high-growth technology, is exactly what this moment requires.”

said Jack Zhang, Co-founder and CEO, Airwallex.

Jeanette Chan will remain Chief Legal Officer and continue to lead Airwallex’s global legal strategy, product and commercial counsel, and licensing initiatives.
