Airwallex reported this week that its Israeli operations more than quadrupled revenue in 2025, underscoring strong local demand for cross-border payments and financial infrastructure tools.
The global fintech platform, valued at $8 billion, reported 315% year-on-year revenue growth in Israel and a 406% increase in transaction volume in the fourth quarter of 2025 compared with the same period a year earlier.
The Melbourne-founded company launched its Israeli activity in 2023 and received a Payment Service License in Israel in July 2025. The regulatory approval allows it to operate as a fully licensed payment service provider in the country.
Following the license approval, Airwallex rolled out its full suite of products locally, including its Global Treasury and Payments Network (GTPN), payment acquiring services and card issuing solutions. The company says the expanded offering enables Israeli businesses to manage international payments and financial operations more efficiently.
“Since launching in Israel nearly three years ago, the team has seen tremendous growth with customer wins and regional hires,” said Or Liban, who leads Airwallex’s activity in Israel and also serves as the company’s VP for Benelux and the Middle East. “Expanding our team, launching the full product suite, and strengthening our local presence after obtaining our local license ensures we can continue supporting Israeli businesses as they scale internationally with speed and confidence.”
Airwallex Israel said it has plans to increase its local workforce by 43% by the end of 2026 and is preparing to move into a larger Tel Aviv office in the first half of next year to accommodate new hires.
Among its Israeli customers are Wix, OurCrowd, GoGlobal, Wonderful and Tripex, formerly known as ComBtas. The company says it has signed clients across multiple sectors.
Founded in 2015, Airwallex provides payment acceptance, global accounts, corporate cards and spend management tools to more than 200,000 companies worldwide, from startups to publicly traded firms. It holds around 80 licenses across North America, Europe, the Middle East and Asia-Pacific, and employs more than 2,000 people across 26 offices.
The company has raised more than $1.4 billion from investors including Sequoia, DST Global, Greenoaks Capital, Salesforce Ventures and T. Rowe Price Associates, among others.
Airwallex’s rapid expansion in Israel comes as local tech companies increasingly seek global payment solutions amid ongoing internationalization and regulatory complexity in cross-border commerce.
