Hong Kong – Airwallex, a global financial platform, has opened the Airwallex Borderless Cafe in Hong Kong to promote cross-border financial technology solutions. The pop-up cafe is part of the ‘Brew your borderless business’ campaign, which encourages businesses to overcome cross-border operations challenges.
With the aim of empowering businesses to unlock opportunities, the campaign highlights the importance of innovative fintech solutions for businesses. Airwallex’s founders launched the campaign after facing difficulties in opening a cafe in Melbourne, Australia.
Through the campaign, businesses can learn about Airwallex’s solutions and how they can help streamline cross-border operations. Airwallex will also host workshops about leveraging fintech solutions for their growth.
According to Airwallex’s recent trade report, global supply chain disruptions and inflationary pressures have significantly impacted trading businesses. Different regulatory requirements and currency risks also pose a problem for them.
The pop-up cafe, featuring a special menu, will run until Oct. 30, 2024.
Arnold Chan, Airwallex Asia general manager, said, “We’re excited to launch the Airwallex Borderless Cafe to have more conversations with businesses and community partners in Hong Kong. Airwallex was born out of a desire to create a better way for businesses to operate globally and optimise growth across borders. By providing trusted solutions for global payments and financial operations, we enable businesses of all sizes, whether they are entrepreneurs, SMEs and enterprises, to optimise their cross-border operations and achieve meaningful growth.”
“Managing business operations across borders can be challenging. The good sign is that 90% of import and export SMEs in Hong Kong are satisfied with the pay-in, pay-out and FX services provided by fintechs, and are open to more fintech solutions. Airwallex will continue to innovate and empower businesses to rethink their approach to global finance and unlock new possibilities,” Chan added.
