New at Airwallex: May Edition

This month, we’re making it even easier to grow globally with expanded SWIFT coverage, streamlined spend approvals, and in-store payment options now live in Asia. Here’s what’s new.

Business Accounts

Send SWIFT transfers to more countries

You can now send SWIFT transfers to 207 countries, including new markets like Ghana, Nicaragua, and Lebanon, making it easier to pay global suppliers, employees, and partners from a single Airwallex account. Support for 25 currencies is available today, with early access open for an additional 40 currencies. View the full list of supported countries and currencies here.

Improve routing with intermediary bank SWIFT code specification

Specify intermediary bank SWIFT codes when creating SWIFT transfers or recipients in the WebApp or mobile app to improve routing and reduce payment delays.

Spend

Increase spend control with request and approval workflows

Streamline employee purchases with centralised request and approval flows. Employees can submit spend requests and track their status in real time, while managers approve and finance teams issue cards, all in one workflow.

Configure cards with advanced controls

Gain greater control over card usage with new advanced options. Create single-use cards, define start and end dates, enable or disable specific transaction types, and apply default spend limits for a more configurable card issuing experience. 

Payments

In-store expansion: Point-of-sale payments

Airwallex has launched its point-of-sale (POS) solution in Hong Kong and Singapore. Merchants can now accept in-store payments using Airwallex terminals and a dedicated POS app, delivering an integrated omnichannel experience. Supported payment methods include Visa, Mastercard, AMEX, Apple Pay, and Google Pay.

Platform APIs and Embedded Finance 

Increased visibility and control in Connected Account Console

View all Global Accounts created under a Connected Account, including account details, status, capabilities, and transaction history. Search, view, and download transaction data directly in the WebApp to support customer inquiries more efficiently. Learn more about managing your connected accounts here.
