Business Blueprint is an education and training company on a mission to help other business owners and entrepreneurs build the business of their dreams. For more than 15 years, Dale Beaumont and his wife Katherine have been working with established and aspiring business owners to grow and reach their business goals.
As an Airwallex customer, Dale has experienced first-hand the value we’ve added to his business. Now, he’s helping his customers work smarter and save thousands as an Airwallex Partner.
Where is Business Blueprint using Airwallex?
With a large team based in the Philippines, it wasn’t long before they ran into hurdles when organizing wages. The amount of time and effort it took to pay employees and contractors each period was even greater than the FX fees incurred.
So Dale made the switch to Airwallex. They now use Airwallex direct transfers to pay wages directly into their employees' bank accounts. Where it used to take two days or more, their team now sees the money reach their accounts on payday in under two hours.
From a back-office side, it’s a massive time-saver, too. With all their employee details saved into the platform, paying their entire wages each month takes just 10 minutes.

Money saved is as good as money earned
Problem: As an expanding business, Business Blueprint was experiencing a lack of control and visibility of specific budgets and software subscriptions. The team found they were wasting time and effort each month with unnecessary bookkeeping.
Solution: Dale and the team upgraded to Airwallex Virtual Cards. Virtual Cards enabled them to consolidate their monthly transactions and subscriptions into one central payment platform. It saved them time and gave them greater visibility of their overall business spend.
And as icing on the cake, Dale has seen Business Blueprint save thousands in transaction fees.
But it’s not just the savings—it’s the ease of use. As a busy business owner, Dale has found the Airwallex platform intuitive and easy to use. He loved the simplicity of the interface and appreciated the support he received during onboarding. Not to mention the time the Airwallex team spent helping him and his staff familiarize themselves with the platform.

Dale Beaumont
Founder and CEO at Business Blueprint
“If you have staff, suppliers or customers overseas, then your business should be using Airwallex. It’s a fantastic product backed by a wonderful customer care team who will answer all your questions and ensure you get onboarded properly and know how to use the product.”
Why does Business Blueprint recommend Airwallex to their customers?
With first-hand experience behind him, it was only natural for Dale to begin recommending Airwallex to his customers—or anyone that would listen, as he’d be the first to admit.
He’d already seen the value and savings Airwallex delivered for his business.
As a coach, he saw it as a value-add. Many of his customers were still learning how to grow their business. Some were expanding overseas, some were opening overseas accounts or transferring currency, and others were waiting for the money.
Recommending a better option for managing spend and payments became part of his coaching strategy. He can now set his customers up with the tools they need to scale their business, not their fees or workload.

Dale Beaumont
Founder and CEO at Business Blueprint
“Our customers have loved learning about, and now using, Airwallex. I’ve received an email probably every week now from a customer thanking me for the referral. Some of them have saved thousands of dollars a year—some of them tens of thousands of dollars a year.”
Saving Business Blueprint customers thousands
One satisfying moment that confirmed Dale's decision to become an Airwallex Partner. A Business Blueprint client was considering another payment platform for a large international transaction—one that would’ve cost thousands of dollars in fees.
Thanks to Dale’s intervention, the customer saved a massive $1,500 on a single transfer fee. Don’t believe it can be done? Put Airwallex to the test and open a business account for free.
Helping customers grow without borders, together
But it wasn't just the savings that deepened our ties. We had a shared vision and mission to support our customers to think bigger and better than clunky software, traditional banking and conservative growth goals.
Dale was eager to offer services and solutions that helped his customers move quickly and create opportunities for new revenue streams and market breakthroughs.
Leaning into each other's strengths, we understand our customers' pain points and what's needed to accelerate their growth. This strategic alignment enables a partnership that creates real value for all parties.

“Airwallex has been a game changer for us. I cannot recommend these guys enough. The forex services are super efficient and super competitive. The customer service is not gold-plated, it's solid gold. One of the best eCommerce services for merchants we have come across since Paypal hit the scene 20 years ago."

“Airwallex provides us with flexibility and cost savings in dealing internationally. We used Airwallex to receive our recent global fundraising round and pay international suppliers and are saving at least 5% per dollar transferred versus the big banks.”

“Having all our global SaaS subscriptions in one place has streamlined our finance processes and enabled better tracking and control of expenses. It’s even better knowing that Airwallex isn’t hitting us with any international transaction fees.”

“Airwallex has made it really easy to pay our suppliers in any currency. We have not only saved $10,000 each month, but our suppliers now get their payments faster and in-full. We receive a notification once it’s dispatched, and it eliminates the worry factor of where our money is at. This is important for us to keep building a strong relationship with our suppliers.”
