Application denied for no reason

Created an account and submitted my company registered identifiers, shareholders, etc. Didn't get any answer but a text saying my application was rejected on their website after I logged in a few days later. No update. No reason. Just trying to be a legitimate customer and getting kicked out for God knows why

Account denied - no option to delete data

I tried to open an account with my atypical business setup. The process was great and I had high hopes, only to receive the feedback that an account can't be opened with my setup, no reason can be given and it is a final decision.

Other banks check the key factors early in the process, before you upload your ID and give all the other personal details and inform you whether you can continue or not. And they do offer an option to delete the account&data - with Airwallex I now have 2(?) tickets and a slow response time to those.

No response for a long time

My ticket #1314155 has been ignored for an unacceptable period. Despite multiple follow-up emails and a formal complaint, Airwallex has failed to provide any substantive response or resolution.

As a business customer, this lack of communication is severely impacting my operations. If no professional response is received within a week, I will escalate this matter to the Hong Kong Monetary Authority (HKMA) and Customs and Excise Department regarding the breach of service standards under your SVF/MSO licenses.

Please address this immediately

Failing Customer Service

We have been using airwallex for approx 3-4 years now and the service levels have been declining during that time. Issues can occur in any busniess and they used to get resolved quickly. Now it's AI answers and holding emails with issues taking days to get resolved. I think it's time for us to switch.

Read this before opening an account - Data protection and compliance.

My experience with Airwallex has been deeply concerning and extremely disappointing from start to finish.

The onboarding process was invasive, disproportionate and excessively demanding. I was required to submit highly sensitive personal and business documentation at a very early stage, without any clear justification as to why such an extensive level of disclosure was necessary before even being approved.

After complying in good faith and providing substantial documentation, my application was rejected without any transparent reasoning. No detailed explanation. No clarity. No meaningful feedback. Just a rejection.

What is even more troubling is that despite no account ever being opened and no contractual relationship ever being established, Airwallex has refused to delete my personal data. They claim they are entitled to retain it for seven years, even though I was never onboarded as a customer. Retaining highly sensitive personal information from rejected applicants under these circumstances raises serious concerns about proportionality, necessity and data protection standards.

For a financial institution, trust and transparency are non-negotiable. Instead, the experience feels one sided: you are required to disclose everything, yet they disclose nothing. There is no accountability, no escalation path, and support responses are slow and generic.

The entire process gives the impression of an opaque compliance structure where applicants are subjected to extensive scrutiny while being offered minimal transparency in return. That is not how serious, client-focused financial institutions operate.

If you value your privacy, your time and professional treatment, I would strongly advise reviewing alternative providers before sharing sensitive information here. There are far more transparent and responsive platforms in the market.

Based on my experience, I cannot recommend AirWallex. It looks very dark.

Very Poor Experience – Funds Held Without Resolution

My account (buzzkorp.com) has been under review, and the company has been holding around $2,000 of my balance without any clear explanation.

I was told that the verification process would take 5 days, but it has been well over that timeframe and my account is still not verified. There has been no proper update, no resolution, and payouts remain blocked.

This situation has seriously affected my business cash flow. Holding customer funds for extended periods without transparency or timely support is unacceptable.

I would not recommend this service to any business that relies on timely payouts and clear communication.

Horrible experience and account closure suddenly without any response

I used Airwallex for my website for nearly two years, and I feel obligated to warn others about my experience.

The first major issue was settlements — transactions regularly took around 10 days to reach our account, which caused serious cash-flow problems. This is completely unacceptable for a business.

The second issue was their system errors and outages. Their platform frequently failed, and when problems occurred, customer support was practically non-existent. Do not expect real support — the experience was disastrous and incredibly frustrating.

After two years of usage, Airwallex suddenly closed our account without providing any clear reason. No proper explanation, no accountability, no respect for the customer.

The way this was handled felt discriminatory and deeply unprofessional. Airwallex shows zero regard for its customers and operates however it pleases, with no transparency.

Honestly, I struggle to understand how a company with this level of service and conduct is allowed to operate in Australia. I would strongly advise businesses to think very carefully before trusting Airwallex with their payments.
