Case Study: Royal Essence expands globally, saves time and money with Airwallex

Royal Essence drives international expansion with Airwallex

Royal Essence, an Australian eCommerce self-care brand, was growing rapidly across New Zealand, the UK, the US, and Asia, but its international operations were creating complexity. The company needed a better way to manage multi-currency payments, reduce conversion fees, speed up accounting, and pay overseas employees on time. Royal Essence used Airwallex Global Accounts and Corporate Cards, alongside Xero integration through its accounting partner.

With Airwallex, Royal Essence streamlined approvals and transactions in seconds, eliminated 0% transaction fees on corporate card spending, and reduced payment bottlenecks for its team in the Philippines. The business also cut invoice processing costs by about A$100,000 annually, saved up to A$5,000 per shipment in conversion fees, and paid international employees in about 30 minutes instead of days. Airwallex helped Royal Essence operate faster, save money, and keep both finance and staff happier.
