Airwallex, a leading global financial platform for modern businesses, today announced the launch of Nordic currencies for its issuing customers, a key milestone that further enhances customer experience across Europe and marks the company’s first step into the Nordic region.
From launch, Airwallex customers based in the EU will be able to transact directly in Danish Krone (DKK), Norwegian Krone (NOK) and Swedish Krona (SEK), as well as Polish Zloty (PLN). Now, when card transactions are made in these currencies, amounts will be debited directly from the multi-currency wallets, eliminating unnecessary foreign exchange conversions and delivering cost savings for customers.
The move meets strong demand from EU customers for local currency support, and reflects Airwallex’s interest to serve the Nordic market, and continued expansion plans across Europe, providing tailored solutions that clients demand.
Commenting on the announcement, Or Liban, Vice President, Benelux & Middle East at Airwallex, said: “Enabling Nordic currencies for our issuing customers addresses one of the most frequent requests from our European customers. By enabling direct billing in Nordic currencies, we’re removing friction, reducing costs and making our product more local and relevant for businesses operating in the region and wanting to operate globally.”
Airwallex recently announced a $300 million Series F funding round at a $6.2 billion valuation, and also announced a global partnership with Arsenal Football Club, complementing its existing relationship with Formula One’s McLaren Racing.
