Global Account

A local-currency collection account with local bank details used to receive funds like a domestic business.

Explain it as Airwallex uses it: local account details that help a business get paid like a local company.

In Airwallex-related workflows, understanding Global Account helps finance and product teams reason about settlement speed, reconciliation, customer experience, and total cost—not just a single transaction fee.

This term becomes most useful when attached to a real operating decision such as when to convert FX, when to prefer local rails over SWIFT, or how to hold balances before payout.
