Something extraordinary happened overnight. Jack Zhang has announced Airwallex's Series H funding round of USD$320 million, valuing us at USD$11 billion. It’s a figure that would be remarkable anywhere in the world. The fact that it traces back to a small Melbourne café makes it something else entirely. It’s in our DNA to move fast with conviction, but the AI era has unlocked a whole new level of speed. What we were once developing over years we’re now shipping in months. The next decade will eclipse the last. Our next era will be defined by harnessing new tech to create bigger, better, and bolder solutions. The first drop is Airi, the agentic consumer wallet built directly into Airwallex Payments. Watch this space to learn more, but I’ll say, the early results are outstanding. I've spent years working alongside the Australian businesses we serve, watching them grow, go global, push limits. This funding isn't just a milestone for Airwallex. It's a remarkable Australian success story, and a signal to every ambitious local business that world-changing ideas can, and are, born right here down under.
