Airwallex Testimony

"Airwallex Bill Pay has given us better control over our finances, and has helped us roll up important strategic budgeting and forecasting capabilities. It’s also improved our relationship with our suppliers, because we now never miss a beat with paying them on time."

Joel Stehr

Chief Operating Officer, Bilue

Airwallex Testimony

"One thing we like about Airwallex, which differentiates it from other providers out there, is the team card approach as well as the individual cards. It’s a massive time saver too - to the point that we just wouldn't use a solution that didn't have an integration with Xero, just due to the volume of transactions and manual work that would be required otherwise. It's amazing.”

Airwallex Testimony

"It’s definitely time saving, from mine and our Head of P&C’s perspective as people that prepare payroll are not having to granularly look through each expense item line. The users have taken to it like a duck to water. It's not a difficult system to use. Sometimes people are like ‘oh, another system, another app to download.’ But it wasn’t arduous at all. Once you download the app, it's very straightforward. There's really been no push back whatsoever from anyone because I think people immediately get the buy in.”
