WorldFirst is an international payment provider built for global businesses
WorldFirst is an international payments provider that helps businesses manage cross-border payments. The World Account is a multi-currency account designed specifically for business use, letting companies hold, send, receive and convert funds across major currencies from a single platform–with no setup fee and no monthly fee.
Unlike a personal payments account, the World Account is built around business workflows: multi-user access, ERP integration, bulk payments, and marketplace collections.
A multi-currency account for global business
The World Account provides local account details to receive international payments in 20+ currencies with zero receiving fees and no minimum balance. It can help you collect funds from 130+ marketplaces and payment gateways including AliExpress, Alibaba and TikTok Shop, Lazada and Shopee so global earnings land in one account.

Wise Malaysia or WorldFirst: which suits your business?
It depends on what you’re trying to do. If you’re an individual making occasional international transfers, holding small balances or shopping abroad with a personal card, Wise’s Malaysian personal account covers those use cases.
But if you’re running a business that requires collecting from marketplaces, paying overseas suppliers, or looking for the best business bank account for small business international payments, then a personal account may not be able to handle the workload.
