SINGAPORE, May 22 (Bernama) -- Airwallex, a leading global payments and financial platform for modern businesses, has completed a US$300 million Series F funding round at a US$6.2 billion valuation. The round includes US$150 million in secondary share transfers. The new investment, which brings Airwallex’s total funding to more than US$1.2 billion, includes Square Peg, DST Global, Lone Pine Capital, Blackbird, Airtree, Salesforce Ventures, and several leading pension funds in Australia. Visa Ventures also joins as a strategic investor. Airwallex will use the additional capital to expand its global infrastructure into new markets and continue refining and scaling the software that empowers businesses to operate anywhere, anytime.

“The global financial system wasn’t built for today’s borderless economy,” said Jack Zhang, co-founder and CEO of Airwallex. “Too many businesses are held back by legacy infrastructure that’s slow, costly, and fragmented. At Airwallex, we’re building a new foundation for the global economy – one that’s fast, seamless, and built for scale. This investment marks a major milestone in our journey to redefine global banking, and to empower businesses everywhere to grow without limits.”
