kind: company
description: 'WorldFirst is a United Kingdom-founded cross-border payments and money-movement company, headquartered in London
  and owned by Ant Group (Alipay) since 2019. It gives online sellers, marketplaces, and SMEs a multi-currency World Account
  to collect, hold, convert, and send money across borders, alongside a World Card for multi-currency spending and marketplace/supplier
  payouts. Its home market is the United Kingdom, but its book is global e-commerce and cross-border trade, serving merchants
  selling on Amazon and other marketplaces. WorldFirst ships a genuine, API-native developer platform at developers.worldfirst.com
  built on Ant Group''s Antom-style gateway (open-sea/open-eu/open-na hosts, /amsin/api/v1 paths): a RESTful, JSON, HTTPS-only
  interface segmented into an Enterprise Solution (account, beneficiary, FX, transfer, payout, invoicing, virtual-card credit),
  a Pay Solution (Cashier Payment / online checkout acceptance for merchants), and a WorldTrade Solution (cross-border trade
  orders). Requests are secured with RSA256/ECC224 digital signatures plus OAuth 2.0 access tokens; asynchronous notifications
  (webhooks) return payment and trade-order results. The public reference is documentation-and-console only — the underlying
  OpenAPI/Swagger is not offered as a downloadable spec (the gateway blocks anonymous spec fetches), so integration is gated
  behind partner onboarding and the console''s iMock/iTest tooling.'
