Global Entity Management Overview

Global Entity Management brings the financial operations of multiple entities together in a single organisation.

Who this is for

Airwallex Global Entity Management is built for growing businesses with multiple entities. It lets you manage your finances centrally across all entities, while still giving you the flexibility to drill down into a specific entity or account when you need more detail.

What you can do

Global Entity Management gives you the following key benefits:

  • Unified management of global finances: View and manage Business Accounts, Payments, Spend, Billing and reports in one place across your entities.

  • Transfers between accounts: Transfer funds between your accounts instantly and for free.

  • Centralised approvals: View and approve transfers in one place.

  • Global spend and approvals: Create and maintain approval policies across the organisation, and submit, view, and approve expenses and bills for your entities in one place.

  • User management: Centrally manage and invite users across entities.

  • Accounting integrations: View and manage accounting integrations centrally. Global Entity Management supports NetSuite, Xero, QuickBooks, and Custom Accounting. A single organisation can connect to one accounting provider.

Accounting-only entities

You can create an entity for accounting purposes without completing KYC verification. An accounting-only entity does not have an associated Airwallex account. You can use it to track expenses and bills, and assign it as a user's employment entity. An employment entity is the entity assigned to a user; when the user submits an expense for reimbursement, this setting determines which accounting field values appear.

You can later choose to verify the entity to create an Airwallex account and manage funds in it. To open an account for the entity, it must be registered in a country where Airwallex supports accounts.
