MoreTickets Partners with WorldFirst to Streamline Global Fund Flows
MoreTickets, Asia’s top ticket resale platform by GMV, teams up with WorldFirst for Enterprise to develop a global finance solution. By optimising cross-border collections, seller settlements, and multi-currency management, this collaboration enhances MoreTickets' financial efficiency and delivers scalable financial support to accelerate its global expansion.
Background: MoreTickets builds a global ticketing marketplace as expansion accelerates
MoreTickets is expanding globally from its core markets in Hong Kong, Macao and Southeast Asia. Fuelled by rapid growth in user base, transaction volume and international event listings, the platform is upgrading its cross-border collections, seller settlements and multi-currency management to seamlessly serve a global audience.
To support its rapid global expansion and rising transaction volumes, MoreTickets partners with WorldFirst to build an efficient, flexible and scalable finance solution to optimise multi-market collections, cross-border settlements and fund management.
Challenges: Enhancing cross-border fund management amid global expansion
As MoreTickets scales into a global marketplace, it has evolved from a simple pay-and-collect model into a multi-country network connecting buyers and sellers. To sustain this growth, the platform must address three core challenges.
- Rising transaction volumes call for faster seller settlements.
With cross-border growth, shortening settlement cycles and reducing FX conversion losses are vital to improving seller cash flow and experience.
- Growing multi-currency transactions demand advanced fund management.
The platform processes transaction payments, security deposits, rewards, and penalties. To protect consumers and scale efficiently, MoreTickets needs a more sophisticated, automated fund escrow and flow solution to coordinate complex, large-scale operations.
- Global expansion requires robust compliance.
Scaling governance to match global reach. As MoreTickets expands internationally, operating across diverse markets requires a sophisticated, localised compliance framework. Proactively adapting to regional KYC, AML, and consumer protection standards ensures long-term trust, security, and sustainable growth worldwide.
Enterprise Solution: Scaling global ticket resales with WorldFirst
Centred on MoreTickets’ ticketing marketplace model, WorldFirst, together with Antom, both under Ant International, provides an integrated funds solution covering global acquiring, bulk disbursements, multi-currency management and compliance support. This helps the platform improve the efficiency of fund flows while providing scalable support for its future expansion into multiple markets.
- Global Checkout: Smoother local payment experience
WorldFirst works with Antom to power MoreTickets with over 300 local payment methods globally. This collaboration customises checkout experiences to local preferences, significantly increasing conversion and payment success rates.
- Global Mass Payouts: Efficient seller payouts with flexible fund allocation
The solution supports real-time currency conversion and local payouts in over 30 currencies. Its unified fund allocation reduces exchange rate exposure and lowers cross-border settlement costs for both the platform and its sellers.
- Security and Compliance: Closed-loop fund management for global expansion
Leveraging its global compliance framework and 70+ global payment licences, WorldFirst offers MoreTickets a customised embedded wallet service. This precisely segregates and automates fund movements, including transaction settlements and security deposits, ensuring multi-country compliance, security, and transparency.
