About Airwallex

Airwallex started in Melbourne in 2015 and now runs from dual headquarters in Singapore and San Francisco, with 27 offices worldwide. The company reports more than 200,000 business customers and over 85 licences and registrations (2025 figures from its site), including an Australian Financial Services Licence regulated by ASIC.

Its products cover both sides of a travel business. To collect money, Airwallex offers online checkout, payment links and plugins with more than 160 local payment methods, plus Global Accounts that receive funds in 20+ currencies using local bank details. To pay out, it offers transfers to 200+ countries, multi-currency corporate cards and virtual cards issued through an API.

For travel sellers, the card issuing side is often the most relevant. Airwallex describes single-use or multi-use virtual cards with spend limits, expiry dates and merchant category controls, funded from multi-currency balances and able to be passed to GDSs. This is the familiar virtual credit card (VCC) model for paying hotels and other suppliers. Airwallex states that it meets PCI DSS standards. Agencies in Singapore and other markets that price in several currencies can hold balances without converting every payment.

Airwallex integration: FAQ

Does ReservationHub integrate with Airwallex?
Yes. Airwallex is pre-integrated and listed on the ReservationHub partners page. You open your own Airwallex business account, add your credentials to ReservationHub and use Airwallex at checkout in your booking flows.
Do I need my own merchant account with Airwallex?
Yes. You sign a merchant agreement directly with Airwallex, and that agreement sets your fees, settlement terms and the payment methods enabled for your business. You then add your merchant credentials to ReservationHub, where the gateway is already integrated. ReservationHub does not provide the merchant account itself. Airwallex runs its own onboarding and verification checks.
Can Airwallex virtual cards be used to pay travel suppliers?
Airwallex offers single-use and multi-use virtual cards funded from multi-currency balances, with spend limits and merchant controls, and says they can be passed to GDSs. Whether a given hotel or supplier accepts them depends on that supplier's own payment terms.
Where is Airwallex regulated?
Airwallex reports more than 85 licences and registrations worldwide. Examples on its own sites include an Australian Financial Services Licence regulated by ASIC and US money transmitter licences held by Airwallex US, LLC. Check which Airwallex entity serves your country before you sign up.
