The companies that will win the next decade are operating globally from day one. @Airwallex Billing powers your revenue engine on a single stack that adapts as your business grows 🌎.

👉If you're an AI, infrastructure, or API-driven company, Airwallex Billing handles usage-based billing and real-time metering, so every token, call, and outcome is captured the moment it happens.

👉If you're a SaaS, streaming, or entertainment business, it runs subscriptions and renewals automatically in the background.

👉If your revenue still moves on invoices, like an agency or law practice, it generates and delivers them in the formats your customers expect.

@jakewoolf Are you doing more content from the trip Jake or just the short?

[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.

Not to disparage Reuters - but if you worked in the music industry in London in the 00s you’ll probably have known Banksy as Robin all along. He did artwork for our CND events and even dropped in one afternoon to stencil the toilet wall. https://t.co/lFMwMFR95Z

"Legacy bankiing wasn't meant for global businesses." 👏

[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.

@AdamMBarrett I just gave it a go. Beautiful song. I don’t quite have your tone tho ;)

[Nick Doherty @nickdoco]

@alandaviescomic @StateTheatreAU Having seen Alan’s last two shows at the State I’m gutted not to be going tonight. My 2x tickets are up for resale at face value, grab then if you can go in Sydney tonight! (Sat). https://t.co/67vHeYa4pk

@awxjack That's a great pic! I'm only four weeks into my Airwallex journey... so how do things look from the inside? Optimistic, determined, good humoured, and hard working people holding each other accountable to the highest standards of building product. And hey, we're hiring!

[Nick Doherty @nickdoco]

An incredible story of determination, resilience, vision and growth of many varieties. Congratulations Jack and team.

[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:

[Nick Doherty @nickdoco]

@alandaviescomic Such a great book Alan. Have to say I cackled every time you referred to your ‘sleeping platform’ in the ostentatious apartment.

[Nick Doherty @nickdoco]

@GrahamSpiers Damn missed it. Would love the offer if it’s possible somehow but understand if not!

@shepmates Waiting for the Radio Scotland drop like Xmas morning.
