Your Canadian Dollar account
How will your CAD account work?
Get your CAD account details
Open your Canadian dollar account online and receive a local Canadian account number and branch code. Share these details with your clients and customers in Canada and start receiving payments in CAD dollars via local bank networks. You can also link your CAD account to eCommerce platforms such as Amazon and Shopify.
Spend in Canadian dollars
Once you have funds in your account, you can spend them using Airwallex Borderless Cards, or transfer them to your recipient’s bank account. Use your CAD dollars to pay suppliers and employees in Canada and elsewhere efficiently, without being subject to needless currency exchange fees.
Convert currencies at market-beating rates
Airwallex gives you access to the interbank exchange rate (sometimes known as the mid-market rate). That means that if you need to convert currencies, you’ll enjoy market-leading foreign exchange rates no matter the transaction size. You can also hedge against currency exchange risk by only converting currencies when the exchange rate is favourable.

We are also required to collect details and IDs for certain individuals - this includes any beneficial owners but can extend to directors and authorised signatories signing up for the account.
