Airwallex Registration

Airwallex is a global fintech platform combining multi-currency accounts, international transfers, corporate cards, and a payment-collection API in one system — not just a place to receive payouts like PingPong or WorldFirst.

That makes it best suited for businesses that need two things at once: collecting payments from international customers/marketplaces, and managing internal spending (payroll, ads, vendors) through corporate cards, all on the same platform.

Why use this service at AWE Global?

Multi-currency accounts + corporate cards

Collect, hold, convert, and spend via corporate cards on one platform.

Collection API for websites/apps

Integrate payment collection directly into your website or internal systems, beyond manual payout collection.

Lower cost than traditional banks

International transfer rates and fees are typically lower than traditional banking solutions.

Process

01Advise on your specific needs: collecting international payments, spend management, or both
02Prepare business documents (LLC/EIN) and beneficial ownership information
03Register, verify the account, and activate the features you need (accounts, cards, API)
04Hand-off, with guidance on managing multiple currencies and issuing cards to staff/departments

Documents / information needed

  • Certificate of formation (LLC/Corporation)
  • EIN
  • Beneficial ownership information for the business
  • Linked business bank account (if withdrawing funds outside Airwallex)

Common mistakes to avoid

  • Using only a single currency account despite having multi-country revenue, missing out on the benefit of multi-currency accounts.
  • Not fully disclosing beneficial ownership information, which extends the KYB (Know Your Business) verification process.
