Designing the future of global finance @airwallex

[Ch'an @ChanArmstrong]

@dankimxyz @airwallex Welcome to the team Dan!

[Shannon Scott @scott_shannon]

We’ve shipped a lot of meaningful improvements to our AI assistant since it launched in February.

It now understands your business context, helps you onboard faster, and takes actions across 100+ tools and workflows.

At that point, “AI assistant” felt too small.

So we named it Kai.

Airwallex is acquiring @Leapfin to help global finance teams close the books faster and with more confidence.

Together, we'll help businesses move from accepting payments all the way through to revenue recognition, reconciliation, and financial close.

🧡Welcome to the team, @Leapfin!

[Jack Zhang @awxjack]

Excited to announce that @airwallex has acquired @leapfin.

The Leapfin team has built one of the strongest platforms for turning complex transaction data into clean, auditable financial records.

Their product solves a real pain point for modern finance teams, and we’re excited to bring their technology and expertise into Airwallex.

Excited to welcome @raymond_lau, @eya0 and the entire Leapfin team to Airwallex and build what comes next together.

[Jack Zhang @awxjack]

Most fintech companies started in the world's biggest markets and expanded outward.

Most were built in Silicon Valley, with Silicon Valley assumptions.

We started on the other side of the world, in a Melbourne coffee shop.

Outsiders, by every measure.

So we went deeper than anyone wanted to. Reimagining correspondent banking from first principles, not abstracting away the old system but replacing it.

Years of obtaining licenses, building infrastructure, and shipping every financial product a growing business needs including intelligent finance.

Bank accounts in 70+ countries. Treasury across 25+ currencies. Cards, spend management, bill pay, multi-entity, all on one platform.

Built so the whole world feels like your home market.

Now AI means the builders are everywhere.

Global financial infrastructure has always been the hard part.

Ours took eleven years to build, and it's ready for you on day one.

As a Gooner, this one hits different. Spike Lee, the Emirates faithful, and @Airwallex moving money the way Arsenal move the ball... globally, in real time. COYG!

[Ch'an @ChanArmstrong]

@awxjack @airwallex Best signing of the window and it wasn't even at the Emirates. Welcome to the squad, Spike!

[Ch'an @ChanArmstrong]

@LokyG @ShaanVP @airwallex Yep, we've got Oat milk in the company fridge.

@awxjack @airwallex @deel @McLarenF1 @boltapp Big wins at @Airwallex Grateful to be part of this journey! Scaling to $1.3B+ in customer savings requires more than just good tech, it takes intentional design and a relentless focus on the user experience.

Scaling to $1.3B+ in customer savings requires more than just good tech, it takes intentional design and a relentless focus on the user experience. Great to see the impact of our work at @Airwallex Grateful to be a part of this journey!

[Jack Zhang @awxjack]

We saved our customers over $1.3 Billion in 2025 alone.
That value has helped @Airwallex reach $1.2 Billion in ARR, growing 85% YoY.

@Deel, @McLarenF1 , @boltapp and 200,000+ other customers trust us because legacy banking wasn't meant for global businesses:

• Opening a bank account in a new country takes weeks
• SWIFT transfers take 3-5 days
• Other platforms convert your money even when you don't want to

But with Airwallex you can:

1. Open an account and get paid like a local in 70 countries

Most platforms force you to convert your money into your currency and charge you a conversion fee to do it.

With Airwallex, your UK client pays you in GBP and it sits in your GBP balance.

Your Australian client pays in AUD and it sits in your AUD balance.

When you need to pay a UK vendor or run Australian payroll, you can simply pay from the same currency in your Airwallex account which leads to zero conversion fees.

2. Send and receive money on the same day

SWIFT takes 3–5 days and hits you with unpredictable fees on every transfer.

But over 90% of Airwallex transactions happen on the same day.

Since Airwallex uses local rails to move your money, it also happens at near-zero cost.

3. Issue multi-currency cards instantly

Airwallex helps you issue multi-currency cards to your employees across the entire world.

And every transaction is automatically synced to your accounting system in real-time.

4. Integrate Airwallex in your product

SaaS platforms and marketplaces can also use our APIs to offer these financial services to their customers.

In fact, many companies are doing it already.

But this is just a glimpse of what Airwallex can do. We’re building the all-in-one financial stack your company will ever need.

If you're doing $50M+ in revenue, you could save up to $500k in fees.

And that's money back into your business.

Hey @browsercompany why?
"Arc has recently deprecated the native "Share to Gallery" and public sharing features for Boosts."

[Ch'an @ChanArmstrong]

@awxjack Huge congratulations, Jack Zhang! Seriously, what an insane ride! 🚀

The real headline for me is turning down $1.2B at $2M in revenue. I would be sipping lemonade on a beach forever after that. 🍋

[Ch'an @ChanArmstrong]

Be honest... if someone offered you $1.2B for your startup, would you have the guts to say no?

From 12-hour shifts in a lemon factory to turning down a $1.2B offer from Stripe.

@awxjack 's story isn't just about making lemonade; it’s about an obsession with the long game!

[Jack Zhang @awxjack]

Stripe offered to acquire us for $1.2 billion when we had $2M in revenue.

Today, we've raised $330M at an $8B valuation and reached $1B ARR.

We could've died three times during this journey.

This is the story I've never told anyone before:

[Ch'an @ChanArmstrong]

@nhallam Oof! Ya got court side tix? 🏀

[Ch'an @ChanArmstrong]

@framer Ohh 😮

[Ch'an @ChanArmstrong]

@Steve_Koura Richmond has expanded since I was last there.

[Aleks @aleksliving]

being a doctor and saving lives is cool, but imagine being a software designer and saving someone 2 clicks in an on-boarding flow. heroes.

[Ch'an @ChanArmstrong]

@Steve_Koura Ah yep, so you just go to all of the games then?
