Airwallex Borderless Cards

Airwallex Borderless Cards are suited to business owners that want to track and manage spending in multiple currencies. Its structure is different to most expense management cards and business credit cards, so comparisons really come down to the features you want and the costs you're willing to pay for a business card account.

What is Airwallex?

Airwallex Borderless Cards give you a way to manage business spending and avoid foreign transaction fees. You can load 10 different currencies onto the account – including US dollars, Euros and British pounds – which can help you save on international transaction fees and simplify your budgeting. You can also set up virtual and physical cards that your employees can use to make purchases in multiple currencies.

Right now, you can also get 10% cashback on your first US$1,000 equivalent of eligible international card spending when you apply through the promotional link as a new customer. You can also use these cards together with other Airwallex products, including the Airwallex Global Account.
