Airwallex Testimony

“We used to use Stripe integrated with Xero. We would send out our invoices to a US-based book store, for example, and they would pay us in USD, which our bank would then automatically convert to AUD. But in many instances, we would rather keep the funds in USD so that we could then pay US-based vendors. The unnecessary currency conversions at high exchange rates meant we were getting ripped off at every stage. Then we switched to Airwallex for payments acceptance, transfers, and global accounts."

Airwallex Testimony

"One thing was clear: We needed a simple-to-use, truly global financial solution that allowed us to seamlessly accept money from customers in multiple markets convert it to other currencies only when needed, and pay vendors in different countries. In other words, we needed to trade globally - not just Australia.”

Airwallex Testimony

“Let’s say we continue to expand in Korea,” Daven says. “Or perhaps further markets in Latin America or Europe—where we already have a very strong presence, we can make things as easy and convenient as possible by conducting smooth local transactions and prioritizing their preferred currencies and payment methods. We’re letting our clients know that we hear and support them—and that’s critical to our business.”

Frequently asked questions

What is Airwallex's "like-for-like settlement" feature?

Like-for-like settlement enables you to settle funds from your sales into your Airwallex Wallet in the same currency you charge your customers, avoiding unnecessary FX conversions. That means you are not required to convert currencies received from your customers back to your home currency. For example, if you are an New Zealand-based merchant with customers in the UK, you can price in GBP, receive GBP, and transfer funds in GBP with Airwallex. This is especially useful if you have suppliers or employees based in the UK that need to be paid, as you don't have to convert the GBP to NZD and back to GBP, saving you fees on FX.

What payment methods does Airwallex offer?

Airwallex offers a variety of global and local payment methods so you can enable the right shopping experience for your customers. In addition to credit cards and debit cards, Airwallex offers 160+ payment methods across digital and mobile wallets, BNPL, bank transfers, and more. The specific payment methods available to your business depend on your location. You can find more information about our payment methods here.

Is Airwallex a payment gateway?

Yes, Airwallex acts as a payment gateway, payment processor, and acquirer. We enable merchants to accept payments from their global customers, handle the authorization and settlement of payments, and provide merchant accounts.
