Airwallex to invest more than S$2B in Singapore over five years and grow its team past 1,000

Airwallex plans to invest more than S$2 billion in Singapore over the next five years and grow its local workforce from above 750 to over 1,000 people, with hiring focused on product, engineering and AI. Singapore's Economic Development Board is working with the company on the expansion.

Singapore is one of Airwallex's two global co-headquarters, alongside San Francisco, and has been its global HQ since 2023. The company opened expanded offices at Guoco Tower, set to cover more than 80,000 sq ft across four floors once complete.

Revenue and transaction volume in Singapore both grew about 90% year on year in the first half of 2026. Local customers include Circles, Far East Flora, Stryv and Moom Health.

Arnold Chan, General Manager Asia-Pacific, called Singapore central to the company's global ambitions.
