Founded in Melbourne, Australia, in 2015, Airwallex is one of the fastest-growing companies in the payments and financial services sector, valued at $5.6 billion.
In Airwallex’s early days, participation at Money20/20 Startup Hub was a cornerstone of its growth story as it provided the team with invaluable opportunities to connect with industry leaders and prominent VCs in the sector.
As a result of these meetings, Airwallex was able to finalize its Series A investment.
“The great thing about Money20/20 in Europe, Asia and the US, is the good division between buyers and sellers. So, you have all these service providers and then you have the Heads of Payments from big companies, who are coming here with their teams. Over a week you get 15 different meetings each day that would normally take months to arrange.”
Ryan O’Hollerhan, Head of Sales, Airwallex
