Airwallex affirms commitment to a robust and market-leading financial crime program
Airwallex will be co-operating fully with AUSTRAC's requirement that an external auditor review Airwallex's Anti-Money Laundering and Counter-Terrorism Financing (AML/CTF) compliance program.
Airwallex is committed to the highest standards of regulatory compliance and we welcome this audit as a transparent opportunity to independently validate our AML/CTF program.
We are confident that our AML/CTF compliance program is fit for purpose and necessary controls are in place that adequately address all areas of risks facing our business.
Airwallex continuously enhances its AML/CTF compliance program across all markets in which we operate. Following an AUSTRAC audit of our AML/CTF program in 2024, our program in Australia was validated by an external and independent auditor in 2025, who confirmed that: "Airwallex implemented appropriate systems and controls in accordance with its ML/TF risks and nature, size, and complexity for the limited areas reviewed in the scope of this review.
We have zero tolerance for financial crime or illicit activity of any kind on our network. We maintain robust compliance requirements and any customer unable to comply is promptly terminated from our platform.
We expect that this upcoming external audit will validate that our framework is robust, comprehensive, and market-leading.
