Airwallex has reached a significant milestone, crossing $1 billion in annualized run rate revenue (ARR) as it accelerates its expansion in the UK. This achievement highlights the company's rapid growth, especially considering it took nine years to reach its first $500 million in ARR, while the next $500 million came in just over a year. With a year-on-year growth rate of around 90%, Airwallex is poised to exceed $2 billion in ARR within the next 12 months. The UK market, in particular, has shown impressive growth, with a 109% revenue increase in the first half of 2025 compared to the previous year. To support this expansion, Airwallex has moved to a larger office in Fitzrovia, more than doubling its previous space in Holborn. CEO Jack Zhang emphasized that this milestone reflects the trust clients place in the company as it addresses modern business needs. The growth is fueled by a doubling in the number of customers using multiple Airwallex products and the launch of its ‘Broken Banking’ campaign, which promotes the end of outdated financial processes through striking visuals. Partnerships with McLaren F1 and Arsenal FC underscore Airwallex's commitment to becoming a leading fintech partner in the UK and EMEA. The company has also been active in product development, planning to launch several new offerings in the UK soon. Following its Series F funding round, Airwallex's valuation hit $6.2 billion, with total funding exceeding $1.2 billion from notable investors like Visa Ventures and Salesforce Ventures. This financial backing, combined with impressive growth metrics, positions Airwallex as a formidable player in the global fintech space, particularly as businesses seek more efficient financial infrastructure.
