Should I close Airwallex if I open Align?

The wider picture

The key points from the guide this answer comes from:

1. For a company that bills and pays only in fiat, Airwallex is usually the better fit, with local accounts in 20+ currencies, cards and integrations. Moving makes sense when stablecoins become part of how you're paid or how you pay.
2. As of October 2026, Airwallex can't receive stablecoins; its documented stablecoin feature is USDC payouts on Ethereum, in early access.
3. Many companies add Align rather than leave: keep Airwallex for cards and spend, and move the stablecoin side and the currencies Align covers.
4. Whatever you move, run both accounts in parallel, announce new details safely, and download your records before closing anything.
