Cash Cows
The Core FX and cross-border payment rails process $150 billion annually (2025), producing roughly 70% of Airwallex's free cash flow and supporting EBITDA margins near 42% on this unit.
With licenses and infrastructure in place, marginal cost per extra dollar is near zero, so each incremental $1B processed adds materially to free cash flow.
That cash funds experimental products and underpins Airwallex's 2025-2026 IPO roadmap, covering R&D and compliance spend without diluting core profitability.
Global Business Accounts for SMEs: 150,000 active users-Airwallex's basic multi-currency account shows stabilized customer acquisition cost (~AU$120) and rising lifetime value (~AU$1,020), delivering predictable monthly fees of ~AU$2.1m and steady gross margins ~48%.
SMEs in Australia and Hong Kong treat the account as a utility, driving 72% retention and recurring revenue; market growth slowed since 2020, shifting focus to cost-per-account reduction and operational efficiency.
Strategy is milking steady margins via automation, lowering support costs 18% YoY, and incremental fee upsells to lift ARPU while capex stays muted.
The Multi-currency Virtual Visa and Mastercard issuance is a cash cow for Airwallex, serving digital marketing agencies and travel firms that pay global vendors instantly; Airwallex held roughly 18% share in high-spend digital-payment issuance in 2025, per company filings. The program drives steady interchange revenue-about US$120m in 2025-providing a predictable daily drip of profit. It needs minimal promotion as virtual cards are standard on onboarding and used daily by 65% of new business customers. Low marginal cost and high retention keep margins strong, sustaining free cash flow.
Australian Domestic Payment Clearing
Airwallex's Australian domestic B2B payments is a cash cow: in FY2025 it processed ~A$45bn TPV and delivered ~A$120m EBITDA, reflecting a mature, saturated market with low topline growth but high margins.
