You can also link your CAD account to eCommerce platforms such as Amazon and Shopify.
Spend in Canadian dollars
Once you have funds in your account, you can spend them using Airwallex Borderless Cards, or transfer them to your recipient’s bank account. Use your CAD dollars to pay suppliers and employees in Canada and elsewhere efficiently, without being subject to needless currency exchange fees.
Convert currencies at market-beating rates
Airwallex gives you access to the interbank exchange rate (sometimes known as the mid-market rate). That means that if you need to convert currencies, you’ll enjoy market-leading foreign exchange rates no matter the transaction size. You can also hedge against currency exchange risk by only converting currencies when the exchange rate is favourable.
