In today’s fast-changing digital era, our purpose is to empower businesses of all sizes to grow in their markets and around the world and, by doing so, contribute to the global economy. With technology at our core, we built a proprietary global financial infrastructure platform to help businesses transact, collect, and pay in any foreign currency across 130+ countries and 50+ currencies without the constraints of the traditional global financial system.

In just seven years since we were founded, Airwallex has become Australia’s fastest-growing fintech unicorn and a well-funded international technology leader backed by world-leading investors. Leading independent authorities have recognized and awarded our leadership, innovation, and scale, such as listing in Forbes' Cloud 100 2021 and placing in the Top 50 of KPMG’s Global Fintech100 three years in a row.

To support our ambitious growth plans, we want to expand our global teams with intelligent, driven, and passionate individuals excited about joining our rocketship and taking on the challenge of a lifetime.
