Manage your business's international financial operations with ease. Airwallex Integration transforms international banking for businesses by streamlining cross-border payments, reducing costs, and providing seamless multi-currency financial managementโ€”all within the Vistra Platform. No more dealing with slow, costly traditional banking processes.

Key Takeaway ๐Ÿš€ : Effortlessly manage global transactions, get paid locally in multiple locations, and execute cost-effective transfersโ€”all in one unified platform.


Key Features and Benefits

    • Open and manage business accounts in multiple currencies, linked directly to your entities.

    • One-time KYC verification - no repeated compliance checks across jurisdictions.

    • Collect, hold, and disburse funds in 20+ currencies, eliminating forced FX conversions and keeping costs low.

    • Funds are secure stored and protected with end-to-end encryption and bank-level security.

    • No account opening fees, maintenance charges, or minimum transaction requirements.

  2. Competitive FX Rates Made Simple ๐Ÿ’ฑ

    • Access over 1,000 currency pairs and exchange funds at highly competitive FX rates.

    • Hold balances in major currencies for instant conversion when needed.

    • Lock in FX rates to avoid unpredictable currency fluctuations, mitigating risk through cost predictability.

  3. Fast and Localised Payouts ๐Ÿ’ธ

    • Send payments to 90+ countries using local banking rails, ensuring that transactions clear faster and with lower costs.

    • Transfers in as little as 20 minutes, compared to traditional SWIFT payments that take up to a week.

    • Use batch payments to streamline bulk disbursements.

  4. Frictionless Onboarding & Security ๐Ÿ”„

    • A quick, secure onboarding process powered by built-in KYC and AML compliance, across all supported jurisdictions.

    • Upon KYC completion, users unlock multi-currency accounts, FX conversions, and local/global transfers.
