This month, Airwallex became an official payment provider on OpenTable, enabling restaurants across the US and Canada to accept upfront payments with a simple setup. We’re also strengthening payment fraud protection with Sentinel, our AI-powered fraud prevention engine.
Beyond Payments, we’re continuing to expand our capabilities across the Airwallex platform. Business Accounts are expanding into new markets, and Spend brings transaction and purchase order management into a single view. Platforms can build richer experiences for their customers, and developers can leverage new tools to build with AI agents.
Here’s what’s new in November:
Payments

Introducing Sentinel: AI-powered fraud prevention engine
Lower fraud rates by up to 5x while increasing payment conversion with Sentinel, Airwallex’s AI-powered fraud prevention engine. Powered by enhanced fraud prevention models, Sentinel automatically detects and blocks fraud attacks in real time.

Business Accounts
Unlock local business accounts and global capabilities for businesses in Brazil
Businesses in Brazil can now dual-onboard with Airwallex Brazil and Airwallex US to access local financial services and global multi-currency capabilities through a unified Airwallex experience. Customers can fund their local BRL accounts and convert BRL to USD while also holding and using USD funds in a linked offshore account, making it easier to manage domestic and international finances in one place.
Spend
Manage every stage of your purchase orders in one place
We’ve launched a new Purchase Order experience that gives you more flexibility and control over the full PO lifecycle. Employees can now easily drag and drop order forms or quotes into a draft purchase request to fill out details. We have also added more customisable fields for start and end dates, and delivery dates to fit your request form to your company’s needs.
Change requests are now available in Airwallex Purchase Orders. You can now edit amounts, quantities and other details on an open PO without cancelling and recreating it. Every change goes through your custom approval workflow and is recorded on the PO timeline, giving you a clear audit trail.
You can also mark goods as received directly in the PO, set up more granular 2- and 3-way matching, and use entity-level PO numbering.
See all of your spend in the new Activity tab
The new Activity tab in Spend Overview shows every card expense, reimbursement, and bill across your organisation in one place. Spot something in an Analytics chart, then click through to the exact transactions behind it. This gives finance teams a faster way to go from a trend to the detail that explains it.
Additional Releases
- Create expense automation rules for cards: You can now create a dedicated automation rule for a card while you’re issuing a card. Simply create a card, then go to Advanced Controls, and select “create automation rule”. Fully automate the expense description and accounting values for subscription spend on company cards, or use it to automate accounting fields for team spend on employee cards.

Platform APIs and Embedded Finance

These enhancements help reduce integration complexity and accelerate development with AI-powered tools. Learn more here.
