Overview of Airwallex Pay
What is Airwallex Pay?
Airwallex Pay is a payment method powered by Airwallex that allows payers to use their wallet balances to directly pay for B2B orders. Airwallex Pay is available via our Online Payments, Payment Links, and Xero Invoice Payments product set.
If you are interested in participating in our pilot program, please let us know here and a member of our team will be in touch. We currently only support businesses with a Hong Kong or Singapore entity.
Why should I use Airwallex Pay vs. traditional bank transfer or cards?
By using Airwallex Pay and bypassing 3rd party payment rails, both merchants and payers benefit:
- Enjoy lower fees than the standard card payments
- Reduce payment error as payers do not need to manually input bank or card details when making a payment
- Better experience for your customers as payment can be completed without needing to switch to a banking app
- No forced conversion fees when paying in currencies that you hold an Airwallex wallet balance in
- Higher success rate vs. card payments on cross-border transactions
- Faster settlement time of T+1 instead of T+3 given the Airwallex-owned rails

Why can’t I see my Airwallex account?

Why did my payment fail?
Payment are processed in real time after your confirmation. Payments typically fail due to insufficient balance and risk reasons.
