Our take

Businesses often come across barriers including speed, charges, and transparency when attempting to carry out international payments. WorldFirst creates a platform through which cross-border payments are made easy by offering the majority of services free of charge and by facilitating same day international payments.

The company has vast resources through its parent company, Ant Group, allowing it to access modern technology solutions and to continue development in line with customer needs. The multi-currency accounts and account integration function allows for reduced admin to further streamline the user experience.

Recently, online marketplace Alibaba officially partnered with WorldFirst in Singapore to allow the website's sellers to access buyers across countries, globally. Through this, WorldFirst will assist SMEs with payments and with navigating and leveraging the company for optimised payment processes.
