Solidgate merchants expanding into high-demand markets worldwide can now route payments through Airwallex directly within their existing orchestration setup.
Solidgate and Airwallex have partnered to give merchants local acquiring as they expand into new markets globally.
Airwallex is a leading AI-native global financial operating system for modern businesses holding 85+ financial licenses and regulatory registrations across North America, Europe, the Middle East, and Asia-Pacific.
Solidgate is a payment orchestration platform that connects merchants to 100+ acquirers, payment providers, and alternative payment methods through a single integration, with and full subscription support built in.
Together, the partnership brings Airwallex's global acquiring footprint into Solidgate's orchestration. Merchants can benefit from Airwallex’s local card acquiring capabilities, as well as the broad coverage of local and alternative payment methods.
Better authorization in new markets, within your existing setup
For subscription and cross-border businesses, expanding into a new region without local acquiring means routing transactions through infrastructure with no footprint there – and reflect that. Closing the gap has typically meant a separate integration, a separate contract and KYB process, and more moving parts to manage.
The Airwallex partnership with Solidgate removes that step.
"Airwallex holds 85+ financial licenses and regulatory registrations across the globe – that kind of comprehensive global footprint is exactly what lets merchants bring meaningful volume onshore in each market instead of processing cross-border. Through Solidgate's orchestration layer, our merchants get that coverage instantly, with no extra integration work on their side." – Max Botyk, VP, Strategic Partnerships & New Markets, Solidgate
