Roblox is partnering with Melbourne-based Airwallex on a wallet for US creators.

Airwallex accounted for nearly 70% of the total, with US$1.9 billion raised since its 2015 founding, including a US$320 million round in June 2026.

The valuation is 38% higher than when the company raised its series G funding round in December 2025.

The firm says Southeast Asia is a strategic market and is seeking additional licenses in the region.

Airwallex grew its Malaysia team 66% in 2025 and plans to double headcount in 2026.

While this is lower than the 153% topline growth it saw in 2024, the company notes that absolute growth in the city-state remains “very strong.”

Airwallex is valued at about US$8 billion and has named San Francisco its second global headquarters.
