SEA SaaS Tracker: Airwallex, Xendit, and Respond.io Updates

Airwallex

• June 9, 2026: Airwallex officially launched Airwallex Billing, consolidating invoicing (130+ currencies, 160+ local payment methods), subscription management, usage-based billing, and automated cross-border tax calculation into one product.
• June 9, 2026: Vietnam Global Accounts now support direct local collection of Vietnamese dong (VND). Sellers on Shopee and TikTok Shop in Vietnam can bind a Vietnam Global Account to their marketplace store to receive VND locally instead of routing through a foreign-currency account.
• June 9, 2026: Airwallex POS in Hong Kong added Octopus as an accepted in-store payment method, joining Octopus online, PayMe, Alipay HK, and FPS under one integration.
• June 25, 2026: Airwallex raised a $320 million Series H round at an $11 billion valuation. The round funds two new product lines: T:0, an AI-native finance platform for bookkeeping, forecasting, tax, and compliance (private beta, wider rollout in following weeks), and Airi, an agentic wallet launching as a one-click checkout tool with a reported 14% conversion uplift in early merchant testing.
• No changes found to Airwallex's core account fee structure (still $0 Explore tier, no monthly account fees) in this window.

Xendit

• June 4, 2026: Xendit completed full integration of Dragonpay Corporation, the Philippines' original alternative payment processor, five years after its first investment in the company. Dragonpay's 905 merchants now have direct access to Xendit's 100+ payment methods, disbursement tools, cross-border payment support, and financing products.
• This integration extends Xendit's unified payments network to seven markets: Indonesia, the Philippines, Malaysia, Thailand, Vietnam, Singapore, and Hong Kong.
• Context: the Dragonpay deal follows Xendit's 2025 full acquisition of Malaysia's Payex and its 2024 market entry into Thailand, continuing a pattern of acquiring local payment networks rather than building them from scratch.
• No changes found to Xendit's transaction-based pricing (no monthly minimums) in this window.

Respond.io

• June 4, 2026: Shipped an auto-close feature for inactive conversations, including an AI-generated category and summary attached to every closed conversation, plus a configurable auto-close timer.
• June 9, 2026: Added a Cal.com integration. Agents can view a contact's upcoming and past meetings and share Cal.com booking links directly from the conversation view without leaving the Inbox.
• June 11, 2026: Growth Widgets now report which widget a contact came from, with performance comparison reporting and three new workflow trigger variables tied to widget source.
• June 15, 2026: Respond.io raised a $62.5 million Series B round led by Camber Partners, with Endeavor Catalyst and existing investors participating. The company reports $35 million in annual recurring revenue, up 169% year-over-year, at a 30% profit margin.
• June 25, 2026: AI Agents gained conversation-context awareness. They now detect when they have been assigned to a conversation by a human agent, Workflow, or another AI Agent, and detect when a Contact reopens a previously closed conversation, using this to trigger event-based instructions.
• Pricing check: as of July 10, 2026, Respond.io's published plans remain Starter at $79/month, Growth at $159/month, and Advanced at $279/month, plus custom Enterprise pricing. No increase found against the prior baseline.
