TL;DR: Airwallex raised $330M at an $8B valuation to expand its global payments and financial infrastructure platform, with over $1B set aside for aggressive U.S. growth as it opens a second headquarters in San Francisco. Founded in 2015 to fix slow, expensive cross-border payments, the company now provides end-to-end financial infrastructure in 200+ markets, bypassing traditional banking rails and holding licenses in 80+ jurisdictions. The new funding will accelerate AI-driven automation, product development, and hiring as Airwallex pushes deeper into the U.S., Europe, and emerging markets.
