The challenge
Clipchamp offers a comprehensive video editing, recording, compression and conversion platform, with over 12 million users globally. Clipchamp needed a seamless, scalable and cost-effective way to manage their global cash flow and rapidly growing teams. The team had trialled another foreign currency solution but had quickly hit limitations. This frustration led them to Airwallex for a more scalable solution.
Single, physical card slowed their fast-growing team to make needed purchases to scale
As the Clipchamp team expanded globally, a single physical corporate card could not keep up. It was difficult to track who was spending and set the right card spend limits.
Bottlenecked global procurement and payment processes
The team only had a single account that could make the payment, and bottlenecking the process to one person. The team needed a smarter way to make approved payments fast, with the right permissions and access controls.
Rising SaaS subscription spend and cloud costs
As a technology company, cloud and SaaS subscriptions are significant expenses for Clipchamp. Despite being an Australia technology company, their technology spend was increasingly in USD. The team wanted to eliminate the additional unnecessary and expensive conversion fees on top of this.
The solution
Clipchamp empowered their global teams with virtual cards and the right access to view, book or approve international payments. This accelerated the team's ability to make important purchases or payments to scale.
The finance team now have real-time visibility of global expenses in a single place, synced directly with their Xero account. Setting up a new employee card, with the right spend controls and login access could now happen in minutes, not days.
On top of that, Clipchamp saves over $1,500 each month on their cloud and SaaS spend with 0% international card transaction fees.

“Airwallex has unlocked a much more efficient way of managing our money that we couldn’t do before. Our previous provider could not scale the way we needed it to. Now, our team is freed up to tackle the more important work on how ClipChamp expands globally.”

How Clipchamp streamlines global payments and team expenses with Airwallex
Empowered their fast-growing, global teams with employee virtual cards
With Airwallex’s Borderless employee virtual cards, the finance team could issue a dedicated virtual card for each new team member or expense in minutes. As these cards were multi-currency, the same card could be used for their US and Australia teams. Clipchamp now had a real-time view of their employee card spend and SaaS subscriptions. They could also set flexible limits for each card to keep their teams on budget.
Streamlined global procurement and payments process with the right levels of access extended to the team
The team now had dedicated roles with the right level of access to view, create and approve payments. This created a scalable, secure and fast process for their global team to request and approve payments.
