Airwallex Launches Yield in Singapore After Gaining MAS Licence
Airwallex has introduced Airwallex Yield in Singapore, following the company’s receipt of a Capital Markets Services (CMS) licence from the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS). With this regulatory approval, Airwallex can now offer tailored investment products that help local businesses earn on their idle multi-currency funds. The launch highlights Airwallex’s growing footprint in Asia and its focus on intelligent cash management solutions.
The CMS licence marks a significant step in the firm’s expansion strategy across the region. It also builds on the earlier rollouts of Airwallex Yield in Australia and Hong Kong, creating a seamless multi-market experience for global clients. The platform is now positioned to offer Singapore-based companies a regulated, secure way to optimise liquidity.
Smart Investment Without Operational Complexity
Airwallex Yield enables companies to grow their cash reserves across multiple currencies without needing to open separate accounts. This structure dramatically simplifies treasury operations while unlocking better yield opportunities. The funds are fully accessible at any time, providing flexibility with no lock-in periods.
With Airwallex Yield, businesses can seamlessly transfer money between operational accounts and yield-generating balances. This flexibility ensures that financial leaders don’t need to choose between liquidity and growth—they can now have both. It also means firms can respond more efficiently to market shifts or capital requirements.
Strong Global Partnerships Strengthen Performance
To back its new offering, Airwallex has teamed up with top-tier asset managers. Fullerton Fund Management will manage the SGD-denominated solution, while Goldman Sachs Asset Management handles USD investments. These partnerships bring global expertise, professional oversight, and institutional-grade security to Airwallex Yield.
Fullerton offers over SGD13 billion in assets under management and serves top-tier clients across Asia. Goldman Sachs Asset Management, managing over $3.2 trillion globally, brings unmatched experience in liquidity solutions. These partnerships elevate the product beyond a fintech tool to a trusted enterprise-grade solution.
Leadership Confirms Strategic Value
Arnold Chan, General Manager of Asia Pacific at Airwallex, emphasized that Airwallex Yield aligns with the company’s commitment to financial innovation. He stated that businesses in Singapore can now unlock new ways to manage working capital, especially when operating in multiple currencies.
Gary Harvey, Executive Director at Airwallex Capital (Singapore), highlighted that companies increasingly want smarter ways to deploy excess funds. He noted that traditional treasury tools are often rigid and inefficient, while Airwallex Yield offers a better, faster, and easier option.
A Regulated Investment Product, Not a Deposit
Importantly, Airwallex Yield is an investment solution, not a savings account or a deposit product. This distinction means the product carries certain risks, including possible loss of capital. Businesses considering Airwallex Yield should either seek professional advice or carefully evaluate the suitability of the product themselves.
Transparency remains a core value for Airwallex, especially when dealing with licensed products in regulated jurisdictions. The company has committed to strong disclosures and consistent communication to ensure that businesses make informed choices.
Market Experts Endorse Airwallex Yield
Industry leaders have also spoken positively about this new launch. Mark Yuen, Chief Business Development Officer at Fullerton Fund Management, said the partnership gives corporates reliable access to higher-yielding, liquid investment options. He added that Fullerton’s deep experience and robust track record enhance product credibility.
Mike Siegel, Global Head of Liquidity Solutions at Goldman Sachs Asset Management, noted that businesses are seeking safety, liquidity, and returns. He believes the firm’s investment expertise is a strong match for Airwallex Yield’s goals in Singapore.
Expanding the Treasury Toolkit for Global Firms
Airwallex Yield is part of the company’s broader mission to modernise how global companies manage their finances. Already trusted by over 150,000 businesses—including TikTok, Rippling, Qantas, and SHEIN—Airwallex continues to grow its comprehensive suite of services.
From payments and foreign exchange to cross-border accounts and embedded finance, Airwallex is building an all-in-one global financial platform. Airwallex Yield adds yet another layer of utility, giving finance teams the tools to enhance capital efficiency without sacrificing accessibility.
Investing in Future-Focused Infrastructure
With the fintech space evolving rapidly, tools like Airwallex Yield help companies build financial resilience. Whether facing market volatility or seasonal cash surpluses, firms can now turn idle balances into active growth levers. This new capability can strengthen balance sheets, improve forecasting, and elevate CFO decision-making.
Airwallex Yield represents more than a product—it reflects a new chapter in treasury transformation. Backed by licensed partnerships and a proven infrastructure, it offers future-ready financial tools to support growth in real time.
