Airwallex Yield Surpasses US$1 Billion in Global Assets Under Administration
Airwallex’s treasury offering – first launched in Australia – continues to scale globally, giving businesses seamless access to institutional-grade returns with the liquidity they need to grow
Yield, which launched in Australia in Nov 2023, is now available in the U.S., Europe, Hong Kong, Singapore and New Zealand.
AUSTRALIA, March 9, 2026 — Airwallex, a leading global financial platform for modern businesses, today announced that Yield has surpassed US$1 billion in global assets under administration marking a major milestone for the treasury solution designed to help businesses optimise returns on idle cash.
This announcement coincides with the U.S. launch of Yield, demonstrating the offering’s rapid adoption and strong global demand since its initial debut in Australia just over two years ago.
With Yield, customers can quickly and seamlessly move idle funds from their Airwallex cash balances into an AAA-rated money market fund managed by J.P. Morgan Asset Management. Since its launch in Australia, businesses have benefitted from returns in both local currency and US-dollar balances without opening an overseas bank account.
“Topping $1 billion isn’t just a milestone for Airwallex – it reflects a broader shift in how Australian businesses are managing capital,” said James Teodorini, Head of ANZ, Airwallex. “At a time when cashflow discipline and resilience matter more than ever, businesses want their money working harder without locking it away or having to navigate the friction and limitations of traditional banking. Yield is part of Airwallex’s full-stack platform that helps companies manage, move, and grow their money in one place. By putting idle cash to work while keeping it instantly accessible for payments, spend, and investment, we’re giving Australian businesses more control over working capital – supporting growth, productivity, and long-term economic resilience.”
Usage data highlights the specific drivers behind this growth:
SME Market Traction: This momentum is driven by small-to-medium enterprises with less than $10M in annual revenue, demonstrating that institutional-grade returns are a critical priority for the segment.
Operational Simplicity: Customers are using Yield as a “set and forget” account, treating it with the ease of a traditional savings account to ensure their idle funds are consistently productive.
Managing Global Volatility: The majority of these funds are held in USD, as companies increasingly seek to protect capital against local currency volatility and macro-economic uncertainty.
Key features of Airwallex Yield in Australia include:
Competitive Daily Returns: Earn returns on AUD and USD balances that outperform most traditional bank savings accounts.
Daily Liquidity: No minimum lock-up periods, with funds generally settling back into cash balances within 2 business days. For small businesses this agility is key, making it possible to switch cash balances into high-yield positions overnight, and switch them back to liquid cash just in time for payroll or vendor payments.
Seamless Integration: Airwallex is collapsing the walls between treasury, accounts payable, and expense management. Customers can move funds between payments, payouts, corporate cards, and Yield accounts within a single dashboard. No external transfers, no logging in to multiple accounts—just one fluid ecosystem where customers' money is always in the right place at the right time. Businesses can also sync Yield balances with Xero for faster reconciliation.
Institutional Safety: Access J.P. Morgan Liquidity Funds and AAA-rated money market funds.
