Airwallex, a leading global financial platform for modern businesses that launched its operations in Israel in May 2023, reports significant growth in its Israeli operations, reflecting strong demand for advanced financial solutions and infrastructure. Airwallex is considered one of the fastest-growing payments and fintech companies in the world, recently raising $330 million at a valuation of $8 billion.
Airwallex Israel more than quadrupled its revenue in 2025, reporting a 315% increase compared to the same period in the previous year and a 406% rise in transaction volume in the fourth quarter of 2025, highlighting the platform’s rapid adoption. The Israeli team is expected to grow by 43% by the end of 2026 and will continue expanding into larger offices in Tel Aviv during the first half of 2026. This move will ensure the onboarding of new employees and provide adequate response to market demand.
Following the approval of a license to provide payment services in Israel in July 2025, Airwallex Israel has now launched its full suite of financial products, including global payments and treasury, payment processing services, and issuance solutions. This regulatory approval allows Airwallex to operate as a licensed local payment service provider and gives Israeli businesses the ability to manage payments more efficiently and expand globally.
Airwallex Israel has additional plans to expand its product offering throughout the year, after successfully acquiring clients in various sectors, including Wix, OurCrowd, GoGlobal, Wonderful, and Tripex (formerly ComBtas). “Since launching operations in Israel nearly three years ago, the team has experienced tremendous growth in both client acquisition and hiring,” said Or Liban, who leads Airwallex’s operations in Israel and also serves as Vice President for Airwallex in Benelux and the Middle East.
“The team expansion, the launch of the full product suite, and strengthening our local presence following the license approval ensure that we can continue supporting Israeli businesses in their international expansion processes quickly and securely,” Liban added.
Airwallex was founded in Melbourne, Australia, in 2015 and is one of the fastest-growing payments and fintech companies globally. More than 200,000 companies worldwide – from start-ups to large enterprises – use Airwallex to manage their global banking and financial operations or to build and monetize their financial products using Airwallex infrastructure. Leading companies such as OurCrowd, Rippling, Navan, SHEIN, and many others trust Airwallex.
Airwallex holds 80 licenses across North America, Europe, the Middle East, and the Asia-Pacific region, representing one of the most comprehensive financial infrastructures in the world. This regulated infrastructure operates Airwallex products on a global scale, including payment acceptance, billing, global accounts, corporate credit cards, and expense management. The company’s headquarters are in San Francisco and Singapore, with over 2,000 employees across 26 offices. The company plans to continue hiring in Israel and the Middle East over the coming year.
The company has raised over $1.4 billion from some of the world’s leading investors, including Addition, T. Rowe Price Associates, Robinhood Ventures, Sequoia, DST Global, Greenoaks Capital, Salesforce Ventures, Lone Pine Capital, and 1835i Ventures (ANZ Bank).
The fintech company reported a 406% increase in transaction volume in the fourth quarter of 2025 compared to the same quarter in 2024. The number of employees is expected to grow by 43% by the end of 2026, with plans to expand office space in the first half of 2026.
