By Dominic Sow · 20 July 2025

Airwallex Company of Good recognition by the National Volunteer & Philanthropy Centre (NVPC) affirms the fintech’s growing corporate purpose and social responsibility in Singapore. This award shows that Airwallex Impact is dedicated to promoting inclusion, sustainability, and community involvement.
This national recognition affirms Airwallex’s ongoing commitment to building a more inclusive and sustainable future through purposeful business practices, in line with the Forward Singapore movement and COG’s five pillars: People, Society, Governance, Environment, and Economic.
“At Airwallex, purpose is central to our mission,” said Lucy Liu, Co-founder and President, Airwallex. “We’re proud to be recognised as a Company of Good and to do our part in strengthening the communities in which we live and work. We believe innovation and impact go hand in hand – and we’ll continue finding new ways to use our time, product, and expertise to drive economic empowerment, inclusion, and opportunity.”
Airwallex Impact: Turning purpose into action
Airwallex’s recognition is a strong endorsement of Airwallex Impact, its global social impact programme launched in late 2024, grounded in the company’s pledge to the Pledge 1% movement – a global initiative that encourages companies to commit 1% of equity, product, profit, and employee time for the greater good.
Since committing to Pledge 1%, over 120 Airwallex employees globally have contributed volunteer days across a diverse range of activities in the first half of 2025 – a 58% uplift compared to the whole of 2024.
Through Airwallex Impact, the company will continue to deliver volunteering initiatives, forge social impact partnerships, and establish donation frameworks across its global offices, including its Singapore headquarters. The Airwallex Company of Good status supports its larger goal of promoting economic empowerment and volunteerism through its Airwallex Impact program.
Creating lasting impact on the ground in Singapore
In Singapore, Airwallex employees have already begun making a tangible difference through a range of volunteering initiatives in 2025 that support youth empowerment, marine conservation, and environmental innovation.
Highlights include:
- Inspiring the next generation of tech leaders: In partnership with United Women Singapore’s Girls2Pioneers initiative, Airwallex hosted 16 aspiring young women for a hands-on FinTech & Career Readiness Workshop. The experience included crash courses in Engineering, Product, Commercial, Brand and People Operations – giving participants a real-world window into STEM careers.
- Marine conservation in action: Employees took part in a reef survey with Marine Stewards, contributing data to preserve Singapore’s marine biodiversity and protect its coastal ecosystems.
- Ocean clean-up initiative: Airwallex employees joined Ocean Purpose Project – a Pasir Ris-based social enterprise – for a half-day kayak clean-up and learning journey. Participants collected trash from the sea, explored a native seaweed farm, and learned how plastic waste is being converted into low-sulphur fuel and bio-stimulants to restore our oceans.
