The equity opportunity with OpenPay, now a subsidiary of Airwallex, presents a risky profile with an estimated 7% expected upside over a two-year horizon.

Last updated: March 10, 2026

Bull (20%)+75%

OpenPay's platform is seamlessly integrated into Airwallex, significantly enhancing its global billing capabilities and enabling Airwallex to capture substantial market share from competitors like Stripe Billing. This strong performance drives OpenPay's notional contribution to Airwallex's value to $35M, leading to a significant appreciation of the job seeker's Airwallex equity.

Base (40%)+20%

OpenPay's integration proceeds steadily, contributing to Airwallex's overall growth in the subscription management and payment orchestration segments. The product line maintains its competitive position, leading to a modest appreciation of the job seeker's Airwallex equity, with OpenPay's notional value reaching $24M.

Bear (40%)-40%

Integration challenges or intense competition from established players like Stripe Billing and Recurly limit OpenPay's impact within Airwallex. The product line struggles to gain significant traction, leading to a diminished internal valuation and a 40% reduction in the value of the job seeker's Airwallex equity, bringing OpenPay's notional value down to $12M.

Est. time to liquidity~2.5 years

Preference Stack Risk

low

OpenPay was bootstrapped prior to its acquisition, suggesting minimal prior investor preference. Any new equity would be in Airwallex, a larger entity with its own capital structure.

Dilution Risk

moderate

Future dilution would be tied to Airwallex's funding rounds, which are less frequent for a late-stage company but still possible.

Secondary Liquidity

limited

As a private company, Airwallex offers limited secondary liquidity, typically through tender offers or specific programs.
