Airwallex Deploys Its Virtual Multi-Currency Visa Cards for U.S. Businesses

Cross border payments firm Airwallex has introduced the U.S. Airwallex Borderless Card, a virtual Visa card issued by Community Federal Savings Bank (CFSB).

Airwallex’s customers domiciled in the United States can now instantly generate and issue multi-currency virtual payment cards that can be used to promptly pay third parties, such as vendors and other online merchants, wherever Visa cards are accepted.

Using the Airwallex Borderless Card, U.S. companies can now transact in more than 140 currencies.

Over the coming months, Airwallex plans on expanding the U.S. Airwallex Borderless Card functionality, including the issuance of physical multi-currency payment cards for business owners and for their employees’ work expenses.

Airwallex and Visa first announced their collaboration in February 2020 and debuted the Airwallex Borderless Card in Australia, United Kingdom and Hong Kong.
