Most fintech companies started in the world's biggest markets and expanded outward. Most were built in Silicon Valley, with Silicon Valley assumptions. We started on the other side of the world, in a Melbourne coffee shop. Outsiders, by every measure. So we went deeper than anyone wanted to. Reimagining correspondent banking from first principles, not abstracting away the old system but replacing it. Years of obtaining licenses, building infrastructure, and shipping every financial product a growing business needs including intelligent finance. Bank accounts in 70+ countries. Treasury across 25+ currencies. Cards, spend management, bill pay, multi-entity, all on one platform. Built so the whole world feels like your home market. Now AI means the builders are everywhere. Global financial infrastructure has always been the hard part. Ours took eleven years to build, and it's ready for you on day one. Build the Future ↓

We saved our customers over $1.3 Billion in 2025 alone. That value has helped @Airwallex reach $1.2 Billion in ARR, growing 85% YoY. @Deel, @McLarenF1 , @boltapp and 200,000+ other customers trust us because legacy banking wasn't meant for global businesses: • Opening a bank account in a new country takes weeks • SWIFT transfers take 3-5 days • Other platforms convert your money even when you don't want to But with Airwallex you can: 1. Open an account and get paid like a local in 70 countries Most platforms force you to convert your money into your currency and charge you a conversion fee to do it. With Airwallex, your UK client pays you in GBP and it sits in your GBP balance. Your Australian client pays in AUD and it sits in your AUD balance. When you need to pay a UK vendor or run Australian payroll, you can simply pay from the same currency in your Airwallex account which leads to zero conversion fees. 2. Send and receive money on the same day SWIFT takes 3–5 days and hits you with unpredictable fees on every transfer. But over 90% of Airwallex transactions happen on the same day. Since Airwallex uses local rails to move your money, it also happens at near-zero cost. 3. Issue multi-currency cards instantly Airwallex helps you issue multi-currency cards to your employees across the entire world. And every transaction is automatically synced to your accounting system in real-time. 4. Integrate Airwallex in your product SaaS platforms and marketplaces can also use our APIs to offer these financial services to their customers. In fact, many companies are doing it already. But this is just a glimpse of what Airwallex can do. We’re building the all-in-one financial stack your company will ever need. If you're doing $50M+ in revenue, you could save up to $500k in fees. And that's money back into your business. Sign up for a demo here: airwallex.com/offer/airwalle…

@awxjack Huge congratulations, Jack Zhang! Seriously, what an insane ride! 🚀 The real headline for me is turning down $1.2B at $2M in revenue. I would be sipping lemonade on a beach forever after that. 🍋

Stripe offered to acquire us for $1.2 billion when we had $2M in revenue. Today, we've raised $330M at an $8B valuation and reached $1B ARR. We could've died three times during this journey. This is the story I've never told anyone before:

Be honest... if someone offered you $1.2B for your startup, would you have the guts to say no? From 12-hour shifts in a lemon factory to turning down a $1.2B offer from Stripe. @awxjack 's story isn't just about making lemonade; it’s about an obsession with the long game!

Steve Jobs had his best ideas while walking—this Stanford study explains why... In 2014, a team of Stanford researchers examined how creativity levels were impacted by walking. They conducted experiments with 176 participants that placed them in different situations: • Walking on a treadmill facing a wall • Walking outside • Sitting inside facing a wall • Sitting outside In each situation, the participants were asked to complete a range of tasks that are typically used to measure creative thinking. For example, a test of "divergent thinking" asked the participants to come up with as many uses as possible for a set of objects. The results were incredible: Participants were dramatically more creative while walking than sitting. In fact, one group of participants who took back-to-back tests, first sitting inside and then walking inside on a treadmill, saw a 60% improvement in creative output while walking vs. sitting! Walking, indoors or outdoors, had a similar robust positive impact on creative thinking. The authors concluded, "Many people anecdotally claim they do their best thinking when walking. We finally may be taking a step, or two, toward discovering why." Many of history's greatest thinkers, entrepreneurs, artists, and athletes have believed in the power of walking. It's a simple, free tool we can all use to dramatically improve our lives. Schedule more walks into your weeks. Simple challenge for all of you: Go for a 30-minute tech-free walk every single day this week. • No phone • No music • No podcasts • No articles • No audiobooks Just you, your thoughts, your gratitude, and the fresh air. It’s a simple reset that will unlock new creativity and shift your perspective. "Above all, do not lose your desire to walk. Every day I walk myself into a state of well-being and walk away from every illness. I have walked myself into my best thoughts, and I know of no thought so burdensome that one cannot walk away from it." - Søren Kierkegaard If you enjoyed this or learned something, follow me @SahilBloom for more in future!
