Making it easy to do business anywhere

We’ve transferred over $200B for more than 1,000,000 customers and send over one million payments a year.

Our story

Global business is being transformed. At WorldFirst, we’re looking for people who want to lead and shape this change.

Our mission is to “make it easy to do business anywhere”. That means connecting small businesses around the world with faster and cheaper payments, access to international marketplaces, flexible currency risk management tools, working capital and more.

As part of the Ant Group, we have the best of both worlds – we leverage their superior technology and vast ecosystem and seek to maintain the nimbleness of a fast-moving fintech. That’s the secret to our collaborative and inclusive culture.
