Global financial platform Airwallex has announced that it has obtained USD 330 million in a Series G funding round, bringing its valuation to USD 8 billion.
Led by Addition, the round also saw participation from T. Rowe Price, Activant, Lingotto, Robinhood Ventures and TIAA Ventures. With this investment, Airwallex plans to support its growth plans across the US, as well as in key markets globally, while also facilitating expanded AI hiring and product development.
Additionally, the funding round has increased Airwallex’s valuation by approximately 30% since its Series F six months ago, more specifically in May 2025. At that time, the company obtained USD 300 million, with the round including USD 150 million in secondary share transfers. The new investment contained Square Peg, DST Global, Lone Pine Capital, Blackbird, Airtree, Salesforce Ventures, and several pension funds in Australia, and participation from Visa Ventures as a strategic investor.
Fuelling its development strategy
Advancing its substantial momentum and commitment to the US market, Airwallex has also announced that it has established a second global headquarters in San Francisco. The company is set to deploy over USD 1 billion from 2026 to 2029 to expand its operations in the region, attract talent, and grow its physical and brand footprint.
As detailed by Jack Zhang, co-founder and CEO of Airwallex, the company plans to build a modern alternative to the offerings of legacy providers, developing a single platform that enables global banking, payments, billing, treasury, and spend in addition to financial infrastructure. With this capital injection, the company intends to accelerate its growth, scale its technical expertise, and solidify its position in the US and across key markets globally.
AI now embedded in financial operations
Airwallex is working on building a team of specialised AI agents to conduct real financial workflows, laying the foundation for an entirely autonomous finance department. These agents utilise contextual signals across payments, treasury, and spend activity to automate high-value, multi-step operations.
According to the company, purpose-built agents are set to expand across the platform in the upcoming period, allowing businesses to operate more efficiently, accurately, and with less manual effort.
Initially, Airwallex will roll out the suite of AI agents within its spend management platform. Live as of the announcement, the Expense Submission Agent collects receipts from various sources, automatically matches them to transactions, categorises the expense, and populates all required fields for simplified submission.
Available shortly after will be the Expense Policy Agent, which verifies the receipt’s validity, reviews the submission against company policy, and flags potential exceptions for manual review before final approval.
