Case Study: Qwilr saves time and cuts global payment fees with Airwallex

Qwilr saves $9,987 per month in unnecessary fees and hours of administration time

Qwilr, a Sydney-based technology company that creates online proposals and sales documents, struggled to manage spend as it grew internationally. Its single shared corporate card, manual approvals, reimbursement delays, FX exposure, and messy accounting made administration slow and difficult for the finance team. The company used Airwallex Business Account, Payments, and Spend products to better control expenses and payments across multiple currencies.

With Airwallex, Qwilr issued more than 30 virtual and physical cards in minutes, set department-level spending limits, and routed bank feeds directly into Xero to simplify reconciliation. Airwallex also enabled multi-currency collections and international transfers at better FX rates, helping Qwilr save over A$100,000 per year in FX-related fees, over A$18,000 per year on USD SaaS spend, and 70% on international transfers, while freeing up about eight hours a month for its Finance Manager.
