Frequently asked questions about fx & transfers
What is an international money transfer?
An international money transfer is the process of sending funds from one country to another. With Airwallex, you can pay overseas suppliers, employees, and partners without needing a local bank account in their region. We offer a faster, more cost-effective alternative to traditional providers for single or recurring global transfers.
How fast are international transfers with Airwallex?
Airwallex leverages a global network of local payment rails to significantly speed up international transfers. 93% of our transactions arrive the same day, with 50% completed instantly. Actual arrival times depend on the destination, currency, and local banking hours.
How secure are international transfers on Airwallex?
Airwallex acts as a secure intermediary, allowing businesses to conduct transactions internationally without exposing sensitive financial details. All transactions are subject to our security measures, ensuring every payment sent through Airwallex is protected from end to end. Airwallex is regulated by the Customs & Excise Department and holds a Money Service Operators license (MSO License No. 16-09-01929). We meet the highest international security standards including PCI DSS, SOC1, and SOC2 compliance, in addition to our local regulatory requirements.
Are there hidden fees for global money transfers on Airwallex?
Airwallex utilises local payment networks for international transfers, meaning transactions to 120+ countries can bypass the SWIFT network and are often fee-free. Costs mainly apply when FX is required (at competitive market-leading rates) or if the destination requires the SWIFT network (when local rails are unavailable). All applicable fees and exchange rates are shown clearly before you confirm the payment – ensuring total transparency.
