Airwallex has officially launched Airwallex Yield in Hong Kong on 18 June 2025, which it advertises to offer businesses returns of up to 3.97% (for USD as of 16 June 2025) on multi-currency balances with no minimum lock-up period necessary. Arnold Chan, General Manager, Asia-Pacific, Airwallex, shared,

“In today’s dynamic market environment, businesses are actively seeking ways to make their capital work harder. Airwallex Yield gives them a seamless and flexible way to earn returns on their balances, all from within the Airwallex platform.”

With Yield integrated into the Airwallex platform, businesses can manage working capital and surplus funds in one place.

This strengthens Airwallex’s end-to-end business account value proposition,  from payments and treasury to investment, enabling companies to operate efficiently while earning returns on idle funds.

Airwallex Yield is a low-risk, discretionary portfolio management service that aims to generate returns through exposure to highly rated money market instruments. In Hong Kong, Airwallex has initially partnered with J.P. Morgan Asset Management.

Kheng Leong Cheah, Head of Global Liquidity Sales, Asia Pacific, J.P. Morgan Asset Management, said,

“We have been supporting Airwallex in Australia since 2023 and we are delighted to expand that to Hong Kong. This will extend our multi-currency liquidity management capability to Airwallex’s innovative platform, enhancing their financial capabilities.”

Key benefits of Airwallex Yield include the opportunity to generate returns from money market instruments, the ability to earn on multiple currencies, and no lock-up periods.

Airwallex Yield was initially launched in beta for select Hong Kong businesses, allowing the company to refine its user experience ahead of a wider release. It accumulated over US$85 million in funds under management as of 17 June 2025.

With the full rollout now live, all eligible businesses can access Airwallex Yield in Hong Kong.
