Jack and Airwallex raises a Series H - and the value of the company soars

Congratulations to Jack Zhang, the Airwallex founders, and the entire team on announcing their Series H funding, along with the launch of T:0 and Airi.

Airwallex is one of Australia’s greatest technology success stories. From humble beginnings in a Melbourne cafĂ© to becoming one of the world’s leading fintech companies, it demonstrates what is possible when visionary founders combine relentless execution with global ambition.


What makes this story even more exciting is that it still feels like the beginning. With an enormous global market opportunity, an exceptional product suite, deep regulatory capabilities across multiple jurisdictions, and AI accelerating innovation, Airwallex is exceptionally well positioned for its next phase of growth.

Great companies don’t just build products—they build ecosystems. Airwallex is inspiring the next generation of Australian founders, creating jobs, attracting global capital, and proving that world-class technology companies can be built from Australia.

Congratulations also to Square Peg and the investors, board members, employees, customers, and partners who have helped make this journey possible. Success at this scale is never the result of one individual—it is the outcome of a remarkable team united behind a bold vision.


At #referron , stories like Airwallex reinforce why we are passionate about helping ambitious founders and helping Australian innovation scale globally.


The next Airwallex is already being built somewhere today.

The question is: who will help them get there?
