Bookkeeping automation platform, Dext, has collaborated with Airwallex to launch Dext Payments later this year to include a seamless, integrated payment solution within the Dext platform.
By partnering with Airwallex, a Melbourne-based global payments and financial services platform, Dext noted the new payment system would complete the accounts payable workflow in Dext and would offer full automation from invoice upload through to payment.

The two platforms said the collaboration came at a time that was increasingly complex for small businesses, as late payments were a persistent challenge that significantly strained cash flow and diverted “valuable time and energy” toward chasing overdue invoices, rather than growing their business.
According to Dext and Airwallex, the integration would deliver a single, seamless solution for managing supplier and expenses payments, payroll and an easier way to get paid directly from an invoice.
The solution was also set to introduce enhanced security by verifying suppliers and payment details using data held by Dext, aiming to give users confidence that suppliers were paid correctly and effortlessly.
Sabby Gill, chief executive of Dext, said the partnership brought together two fintech leaders with a shared vision to “modernise financial workflows for SMEs and their accounting and bookkeeping partners”.
“Airwallex stood out as the ideal partner to power Dext Payments. Its global presence allows us to support customers in every region we operate in, and Airwallex’s secure, developer-friendly platform integrates seamlessly with the Dext platform,” he said.
“With competitive FX rates, multi-currency wallets, and a strong focus on compliance, Airwallex gives us the confidence to bring this product to market at scale. With our focus on making bookkeeping effortless, Dext Payments makes complete sense.”
It brings everything into one place, eliminating friction and giving our customers clarity, control and confidence over how they pay and get paid.”
Dext Payments would allow accounts and bookkeepers to expand their offering by providing payment services to clients, with direct access to client wallet balances within Dext and payments being quickly reviewed, approved and processed.
Kai Wu, chief revenue officer for Airwallex, said the platform would also streamline reconciliation through automation and incorporate built-in fraud detection, reducing manual effort while improving security and accuracy.
“We’re excited to partner with Dext, a company that shares our passion for modernising financial operations. Dext’s strong customer base, deep domain expertise, and focus on automation make them the perfect partner to take our financial infrastructure to market in a way that drives real customer impact,” Wu said.
“With Airwallex’s breadth of payment and financial service capabilities, we are perfectly positioned to power the financial infrastructure of tech-forward businesses like Dext as they look to accelerate growth and expand globally.”
It was noted that Dext Payments would enter alpha testing in August across select user groups and markets, before a global rollout would begin in autumn 2025 in the UK, before being phased across Europe, North America and APAC.
