### 4/5 — Does the job

*2026-08-25, version 3.17.0*

It’s fine

### 3/5 — Mid-tier

*2026-07-24, version 3.12.0*

The idea is great. The entry is easy. But they slide in transaction fees. And as soon as you start making real money, they hold it and make you prove it’s your money. Oh and if it’s a Friday and they ‘approve’ the release of your funds…. Tuesday you’re fine. But if you want to grow, you better be ready to spend serious $$ to meet their ‘minimum standards’

### 1/5 — worst app

*2026-03-09, version 2.158.0*

poor servcie

### 1/5 — Too Invasive!

*2026-03-05, version 2.158.0*

I wouldn’t sign up again. They ask for way more information than my regular bank does for transactions and setting up an account. Holds on deposits also have to be proven with invoices before they’ll release them. Look for a better fintech thats easier to deal with and less obtrusive!

### 1/5 — worst app

*2026-02-24, version 2.157.0*

worst service just unbearable

### 3/5 — Bank details

*2026-01-25, version 2.153.1*

Air wallex would not accept my bank repeatedly. I had to do the 2FA method instead

### 1/5 — Basic product with poor service

*2025-12-04, version 2.149.0*

They’ve managed to misplace over 50,000 of operating capital due a feature not enabled by their banking partner. They will return it but first they must find it. A process that has involved support with a response time of over 24hrs. Money has been lost for over 10 days. They should do better. Moving to Revolut.

### 5/5 — Great App

*2025-11-09, version 2.146.0*

Great company amazing app easy to use!

### 5/5 — Nice

*2025-11-06, version 2.146.0*

Nice

### 1/5 — Registration flow not working

*2025-11-03, version 2.146.0*

I never got the SMS, tried twice. The flow is in a webview within the app which worsened the experience. Had to retype the registration after I tried again. Checkbox for promotional emails is checked by default which is infringing GDPR in the EU.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Members beware

*2026-08-12, version 3.15.0*

I went through the onboarding process and after they further reviewed our account which took 4 business days they declined without reason. We will now try Mercury, Revolut, and RAMP. Airwallex appears to be either not telling the truth about how they actually work or they are scared of being found out. Could be a fake company. The agent was from India, said they HQ in San Francisco, but wast sure about a lot of things. Perhaps needs a Bank Fraud investigation.

### 1/5 — Account suspended with funds lockdd

*2026-08-03*

Becareful the terminated my account for no reason and didn’t send any instruction to unlock the account. More than 40k frozen in my account while I used it for my brand during 2 weeks at first.

### 1/5 — Create transfer feature issue

*2026-07-13, version 3.10.1*

The create transfer issue is pathetic . It crashed a number of times on me . I was shocked to see that one of the crashes happened after the OTP came through . What app would crash after it has progressed to generating an OTP in the process.

### 1/5 — Promises promises

*2026-07-08, version 3.10.1*

I opened this account with transparency and goodwill that I need this to run my account. Only to be scrutinised by AI security when my business is legitimate. Why lie when you can do what need

### 1/5 — Disappointed and super badly

*2026-07-04, version 3.9.0*

Useless Airwallex app and web app of deleting account and I not recommended

### 1/5 — Very painful card payment process. Constantly new issues (limit, merchant declined etc).

*2026-07-01*

Improve transparency of controls.

### 1/5 — Awful

*2026-06-11, version 3.7.0*

Don’t even bother with this fintech company. It is the worse. You’ll never reach anyone who will speak to you.

### 1/5 — Holding my Funds Avoid Airwallex

*2026-06-01, version 3.6.0*

Very very bad service… waste of time

### 1/5 — Rabbit hole !

*2026-04-30, version 3.1.0*

Once you make the mistake to open an account with these frauds …they’ll freeze your account with no explanation, plus forget about their customer service …there’s non!

### 1/5 — Customer service

*2026-03-09, version 2.158.0*

### 5/5 — Super easy

*2026-04-16, version 3.0.0*

Clan. Easy to use.  Wires are seamless. Creating cards, having clear wallets— excellent FX conversion rates - better than PayPal & my banks (Chase and BOA) (at least when I’ve ran multi times) just everything is so smooth.   Paying my foreign contractors is brilliantly easy too.  A++

### 5/5 — Card and expense now in the same stack as Billing and AP

*2026-03-12, version 2.158.0*

Saves my team a to of time

It’s the best Neo bank for global businesses!!
