Airwallex

When we first started thinking about out-of-home ads, Airwallex was still a name we had to explain before we could sell it. This marks the third consecutive year we’ve been teaming up with Visa to spotlight some of the key local businesses leading the way in growth and global expansion, from Singapore to the world. This year’s run features four of our own customers across retail, tech, and wholesale trade. Different industries, same thread: businesses that outgrew what a traditional bank could offer them, and rebuilt their finance operations on Airwallex to keep scaling. ✅ Far East Flora Pte Ltd is boosting conversion rates by 15% by unifying pay-ins and payouts in one place ✅ Circles deploys wallets, cards, and payments for telcos across markets without rebuilding its financial stack each time ✅ Stryv has cut restock cycles by 3 days, even as it continues to expand across markets, brands, and channels ✅ ZENXIN Organic Food is settling cross-border payments up to 60% faster, with every transaction visible in real time Seeing our OOH activations grow bigger every year is a clear sign of how far we’ve come in Singapore, and a reminder of what we're building toward: the fintech every local business thinks of first. Spot us along Keppel Road, in Terminal 3, and Raffles Place from this week!

Another NATAS Travel Fair in the books! 🎉✈️ I head down to NATAS every 6 months when it rolls around, and each edition never fails to surprise me with how much has changed since the last one. This time, our Travel Account Manager Chelsea walked the show floor to speak with our Airwallex customers on their experience using our products (hear for yourself!). Every edition, we see more travel agencies coming on board, plus existing clients adopting more of our product suite, from cross-border payments and cards to POS. The proudest moment for me? Hearing customers on camera share how confident and comfortable they now are running our POS at their counters, something we only launched 3 NATAS fairs ago. That confidence didn't happen by accident, it's the result of listening closely to feedback after every fair and shipping improvements each time. Shout out to our product, risk and ops team for the wonderful team work! A huge thank you to our travel team for another great show, the hustle over the past few weeks did not go unnoticed 🙌 Take a look at the highlight reel below 👇 #AirwallexSG #NATAS2026 #Travel #Payments Chelsea Yap Seth Lee Keane Yap Kelsey Chan Martina Tan Brenda Shee Sheikh Shujah Javen T.

Here's the highlight reel of what happened 2 weeks ago at Airwallex Singapore's Business Builder launch! Always good fun in the company of fellow builders. More to come as we share how our business builders are adopting AI to navigate their business challenges, and set stronger foundations for the future.

At Ecom North Singapore Summit last week, Joshua Chin from Chronos Agency spoke candidly in front of 800+ operators about three reasons Airwallex became part of his growth stack: competitive rates, local payment methods when entering new markets, and real-time financial data for faster decisions. That moment captured the shift I’ve seen over four years at Airwallex. Walking through the summit, conversations with familiar faces from the e-commerce and retail brands we work with often began with: “Oh yes, we’re already on Airwallex. You’re everywhere.” On stage, Brenda Shee's conversation with Kai Jian (KJ) Chua from HipVan and Jamie Lim from Scanteak Singapore brought the same idea to life: strong brands are not choosing between online and offline. They are using each deliberately — digital for reach and convenience, physical for trust, discovery, and higher-consideration purchases. Proud to see how we are supporting our local retail and e-comm players and even more excited about where the region’s ambitious brands are going next. Here’s a glimpse of the Ecom North community in action. #eCommerce #Retail #GlobalGrowth #FinancialInfrastructure #Airwallex Arnold Chan Brenda Shee Sheikh Shujah Javen T.

Tomorrow Singapore 🇸🇬 turns 61. SMEs are 99% of businesses here, and they employ around 70% of our workforce. Most are trying to do two hard things at once: grow beyond a limited domestic market, and hold costs down while they do it. That tension is the whole job, and it's why I love this work. The question I ask every business owner is the same: what's your focus for the next one to three years, and how can we help? Whether it's at Ecomm North, a retail chocolate workshop, a travel roundtable, or the wholesale drinks evening we're organising soon — the mission doesn't change. Find out what Singapore SMEs and growth companies need need, then close the gap. The second thing I care about is closer to home. Building a strong Airwallex business in Singapore means building good jobs in Singapore. Only 14% of employees here say they're engaged at work. For under-35s, it's 10%. Whatever you make of the survey, most of us recognise the feeling. I don't think that's inevitable, and I'd rather be part of the fix. I'm hiring across the commercial team, and if you want to spend your days helping local businesses win in markets far larger than ours — and find out what engaged work actually feels like — come talk to me. Happy National Day. Let's go build it. Arnold Chan Brenda Shee Sheikh Shujah Javen T. Sabrina Chan Olivia Tan Jun Ji See Martina Tan Boyang S.

Spent the afternoon at SKAI Bar for the launch of Business Builders, and it was a good reminder of how far Singapore SMEs have come on AI, and how much further there is to go. During the session, I was honoured to present findings from a new report we commissioned with Forrester on what's actually holding businesses back from scaling AI in finance. The stat I keep coming back to: 49% of finance leaders here cite skills gaps or limited experience running AI-enabled processes as a key constraint. Even with the tools in place, most teams are still building the muscle to use them well, which is exactly the gap we're trying to address with Business Builders. But the challenge goes deeper than skills. Our research found that 64% of finance leaders point to fragmented data spread across disconnected systems as a major obstacle to scaling AI. Singapore’s ambition is already running ahead of that foundation. 18% of Singapore finance leaders have AI operating autonomously in at least some workflows, significantly ahead of the global average of 11%. The real opportunity now is ensuring businesses have the right foundations, data, skills, and governance to scale AI confidently and responsibly. Thank you to everyone who joined us today, and a warm welcome to the founding cohort Joshua Chin, Siddharth Jadhav, Roy Ang, Eugene Ng, Chee Kong (CK) Chan, Cordillia Tan Diana L. Dmitry Vedenyapin, PhD Dominic Ong. Excited to keep building alongside all of you!

Every founder expanding into a new market knows this feeling: the product’s ready, demand is there, but the backend ops just can’t keep up. That's exactly what Singapore-founded D2C retailer Stryv (under Evo Commerce) faced as it scaled into Malaysia, Hong Kong, and Taiwan. Opening a local bank account took close to a month. Paying overseas suppliers meant waiting over a week, holding up the next shipment. Ad spend across entities in different markets was running on personal credit cards, with no shared view of what was actually going out the door. For a business built to move fast across markets, brands, and channels, that's not a back-office problem. It's a bottleneck on growth. And that’s exactly where we came in. By consolidating its financial operations onto Airwallex, Stryv has transformed how it manages cashflow across markets, channels, and categories. The results speak for themselves:  💯 New local accounts ready in days, down from close to a month 📦 Same-day supplier payments, restock cycles now 3 days shorter 💳 Up to S$5,000 in monthly cashback   ⏱ Reconciliation cycles running 2x faster That's the difference between finance holding a business back and finance clearing the way for it. If you're building a multi-market business across SEA and want your finance stack to move at the same speed, let's connect. 👉 Read the full story here: https://lnkd.in/ezYg3bQj #Airwallex #eCommerce #Retail #FutureofBanking

🇲🇾 Malaysia entities can now access our full product suite, something many SG businesses have asked for, and especially timely with developments of the Johor-Singapore SEZ. But "incorporate in Malaysia" and "actually operate in Malaysia" are two very different problems. That's why we hosted Malaysia Simplified — bringing together founders and finance leaders to unpack what it takes to build a SG-MY cross-border business. We partnered with WUNFONG from Singapore FOZL Group Pte Ltd, who broke down the realities of incorporation in Malaysia. Then we went straight to the source: a panel with SengYee from ZENXIN Organic Food and Peter from Amazing Borneo Tours & Events Sdn Bhd, sharing what it's actually like operating on the ground in Malaysia — hiring, banking, the works. If you're a Singapore business eyeing or operating in Malaysia — this is a conversation worth having.
