Airwallex’s global headquarters is nestled in the tallest building in Singapore, at the centre of the city state’s vibrant Tanjong Pagar district. Opened in February 2023, the Airwallex Singapore office is a bustling hub of culture, innovation and collaboration, and home to a dynamic community spanning over 13 diverse teams.
From the moment you step inside, you’ll find yourself immersed in an environment designed to inspire creativity and foster connections.
From humble beginnings to global headquarters
Airwallex Singapore started in a small shared office with fewer than 10 employees. Today, our Guoco Tower global headquarters is a vibrant and inspiring place where over 200 – and growing – of the brightest and most ambitious minds come to brainstorm, build, unwind and have fun together.
"Singapore’s connectivity makes it a key strategic hub for Airwallex as we strengthen our presence in Asia-Pacific and globally... Cultivating an environment where our exceptional team can flourish and contribute their unique talents is essential to our shared success."
With members from over 13 teams co-located in one workspace, it was a priority to design an environment that fosters the growth and success of our rapidly growing Singapore team.
As Arnold Chan, General Manager of Asia, aptly puts it, “Singapore’s connectivity makes it a key strategic hub for Airwallex as we strengthen our presence in Asia-Pacific and globally. We are dedicated to attracting and developing top talent across all functions in our Singapore office, providing the best products and solutions, and fostering closer collaboration with our customers and partners. Cultivating an environment where our exceptional team can flourish and contribute their unique talents is essential to our shared success.”
Richard Yan, Vice President of Global People & Talent, echoes this sentiment, emphasising the importance of Singapore to Airwallex’s tech (engineering, product, design) and operations teams. “Airwallex Singapore serves as our global headquarters and a vital tech and operations hub. Everyone here plays a crucial role in developing and supporting products and services for over 100,000 customers worldwide. To maintain our position as a leading payments and financial platform, it’s crucial we are providing an environment where our people can collaborate, innovate and grow.”
Designed for inspiration: A glimpse inside the Airwallex Singapore Office
Step inside our Singapore office, and you’ll discover a space that goes beyond the conventional. Inspired by the Airwallex origin story—where our CEO, Jack Zhang, and three fellow entrepreneurs launched a Melbourne cafe and transformed it into the catalyst for Airwallex’s mission—local artist Shan Yiing Lai has breathed life into our walls with vibrant murals that adorn the second cafeteria and entrance walkway.
Meeting rooms named after iconic Singapore landmarks, like Raffles, Merlion, Esplanade, and Istana, encourage us to go beyond these walls and connect with the city’s rich heritage and culture. And with a well-equipped cafe, recreational areas, collaborative spaces, and private booths, we’ve designed an environment that nurtures diverse work styles. Welcome to a workspace where inspiration and productivity thrive.
