How do you build the future?
You don’t do it standing still. You do it by challenging outdated ideas over and over again and building progress without permission. It takes audacity.
The future is born from audacity.
At Airwallex and Arsenal, we believe in the impossible – and we find a way to do it. This is the shared DNA of pioneers the world over.
The DNA of pioneers: always forward. Always 'what next?'
Relentlessly facing forwards is what powers pioneering institutions. Staying ahead takes the grit to ask "what next?" when the rest of the world stops. We’ve aligned with Arsenal because they don't just play the game, they evolve it. From the first floodlights to going a season unbeaten, Arsenal has always looked to the future. We are doing the same for global business banking. We're proving there's a new possible by rejecting the old ways that keep you – and businesses like yours – from opportunity on the world stage.
Global finance built to move at the speed of the game.
In football and in business, we’ve spent too long accepting the "cost of doing business" – especially on the international stage. It was seen as an inevitability. A necessary tax. A pain to accommodate.
We don’t believe that a brand like Arsenal – or any brand – should be penalised for its global appeal or burdened by expensive, outdated financial systems. Airwallex was founded to challenge the institutions that profit from friction, providing the infrastructure that allows the club to operate globally without being held back by legacy fees.
By removing these borders, we give the global fanbase the ability to pay in their local currency – making the Arsenal brand feel like home, no matter where you are or how you experience the game.

How can local currency accounts help my business save on transaction fees?
Local currency accounts can be used to avoid unnecessary conversion fees and to save on everyday expenses. You can collect payments from your international customers in their preferred currency and then spend those proceeds later in the same currency (for example, to pay global suppliers and employees), thereby eliminating unnecessary conversion fees. You can also benefit from holding funds in a foreign currency until FX rates are favourable enough to convert these funds to your home currency. Find out more.
