Airwallex is about to take on Stripe and the rest of the payments industry — in the physical world

Airwallex, valued at $8 billion, is launching a point-of-sale product that allows businesses to accept in-person payments across multiple countries through a single platform. The launch expands the company’s fintech product suite and could support international merchant adoption and transaction volume growth. The news is positive for Airwallex, but the immediate market impact is likely limited.
