Case Study: Deliciou expands globally and saves on international payments with Airwallex

How Deliciou overcame the challenges of being an international first ecommerce business

Deliciou is a Melbourne-based plant-based food brand that wanted to operate internationally from day one, serving customers in the US, UK and EU. As the business grew, it struggled to set up local accounts to receive and manage funds in GBP, EUR and USD, and it also needed a faster way to handle employee spending and cross-border payments. Deliciou used Airwallex Business Account, Payments and Spend to support its global ecommerce operations.

With Airwallex, Deliciou quickly created UK, EUR and USD virtual accounts, allowing it to receive, hold and pay funds locally without unnecessary currency conversions. Airwallex helped Deliciou save about AUD$24,000 per month in international transaction fees, cut the time to set up a UK business account from months to about a week, and make payments roughly 75% faster, improving cash flow and reducing admin.
