Airwallex raises $100M at a $5.5B valuation
Hong Kong and Melbourne-based Airwallex has raised $100 million capital that it will be using to continue building out its banking and payments businesses into more markets, and to invest expanding its products.
The funding — which is being led by Lone Pine Capital and joined by 1835i Ventures (the venture arm of ANZ, the Australia and New Zealand Banking Group) and Sequoia Capital China, all previous investors — is an extension to the company’s Series E that it announced only in September; and it brings the total of the round to $300 million.
