Business Accounts

Send MYR transfers with more local payment options

Businesses can send Malaysian Ringgit (MYR) local transfers in Malaysia using DuitNow ID or RENTAS, alongside the existing DuitNow bank-account route. Use a familiar DuitNow ID, such as a bank account number, business registration number, phone number, or passport number for instant transfers, or choose RENTAS for transfers of up to MYR 200 million. This gives you more flexibility to choose the transfer method that best fits each payment. Learn more here.

Spend

Build flexible expense submission forms

Customise your expense submission requirements with conditional logic, allowing you to tailor which fields are shown, required, or optional based on specific expense details, such as requiring attendees for meal expenses. This gives you granular control over the data collected, ensuring employees only see the fields relevant to each expense.

Claim mileage reimbursements

Employees who drive for work can claim back mileage reimbursements in the Airwallex mobile app. Simply enter trip details and distance and the reimbursement amount is calculated automatically. Admins can use standard, government-vetted rates, or set up custom rates depending on their company’s mileage policy. Mileage claims follow the same expense review and approval workflow as other reimbursements, giving employees a simpler way to recover work-related travel costs while helping finance teams track mileage spend.

Additional Releases

  • Separate accounting fields by product: Admins can designate which accounting fields can be used in each Spend product. For example, you can limit the categories employees need to select from when filing expenses or specify certain GL Codes to be used in Bill Pay and Purchase Orders only.

  • Greater control over approvals: Advanced approval rules let you share a primary condition while routing requests to different approvers based on sub-conditions. You can also dynamically designate PO owners and Vendor owners as approvers.

Platform APIs and Embedded Finance

Improved Platform Liquidity Programs

Platforms can now benefit from multi-currency support and the ability to manage multiple liquidity pools per platform, offering greater control and flexibility. Additionally, you can set granular spending limits on a per-connected-account basis. Learn more here.
