The Bill Pay offering in Canada helps Float customers eliminate manual AP processes by increasing visibility and control over their company’s largest expenses, invoices, with automated invoice collection, payment, and reconciliation, all while minimising costly foreign exchange fees.
Ravi Adusumilli, Executive General Manager, Americas, Airwallex, said: “Canadian consumers, SMBs, enterprises, and the economy at large stand to benefit from more integrated financial services.

Embedded finance unlocks opportunity for fintechs and SMB customers
Float is capitalising on surging SMB demand for integrated financial tools that serve multiple needs. A recent Airwallex survey found that more than 80%of SMBs around the world desire comprehensive software offerings, and would look to switch away from traditional banks for their payment needs. 76% report that they would be willing to pay more for one-stop solutions that can be accessed through a single vendor. For platforms like Float that have already built strong relationships with SMBs, there is an immediate competitive advantage over banks that offer the same services.
