Frequently asked questions about global accounts
What is an Airwallex Global Account?
An Airwallex Global Account provides you with local banking details opened in your company's name in 20+ countries. It allows you to receive money in multiple currencies using local account details across different countries and regions. This enables you to collect payments like a local business without exorbitant international collection fees, centralising your global funds in one place – suitable for companies with overseas clients or cross-border operations.
How does an Airwallex Global Account help me receive money internationally?
With a Global Account, you can receive money directly in your customer's local currency – such as USD in the US or EUR in Europe – without being forced to convert funds immediately. This eliminates the need for double currency conversion, significantly reducing foreign currency costs and transaction fees while speeding up your cross-border collection process.
Can I avoid conversion fees with a Global Account?
Yes. You can receive money in the same currency your customers pay in, and manage or spend those funds without converting them, reducing unnecessary FX fees.
