How the fees work
Airwallex charges 1.30% + 20p on domestic UK card payments through its checkout, payment links and e-commerce plugins, which undercuts Stripe (1.5% + 20p) and PayPal. It really earns its keep for businesses handling multiple currencies, with FX conversion at around 0.5% above the interbank rate and free local payouts in over 120 countries.
There is a free entry plan; a paid Explore plan (around 19 pounds a month) adds features but eats into margins for very small businesses. International card rates are higher than the domestic rate.
