Ant International’s WorldFirst is expanding into enterprise services with an AI-driven financial suite built for digital platforms operating across borders.
The solution brings checkout, business accounts, global spend tools, AI FX, foreign exchange, treasury functions and embedded finance into a single API.
It targets large digital enterprises across e-commerce, the gig economy, SaaS and online travel.
WorldFirst said the service is supported by its global account infrastructure and licensing network, which spans more than 200 markets and over 60 approvals.
It uses Ant International’s Falcon AI model for liquidity and FX forecasting with more than 90 percent accuracy.
The platform supports mass payouts in more than 100 currencies, enables 95 percent of global transfers on the same day and provides real-time settlement in 25 currencies.
It is designed to automate collections, payouts and treasury workflows inside existing enterprise systems.
The launch comes as digital platforms face rising pressure from inefficient payments, high costs, compliance demands and uneven user experiences.
McKinsey estimates these platforms could account for more than 30 percent of global economic activity within six years, representing about 60 trillion dollars.
A global e-commerce platform has adopted the service for its third-party sellers, using it for multi-currency wallets, automated eKYC and eKYB checks and end-to-end treasury functions covering collection, payment and FX.
WorldFirst said the integration has cut onboarding to under a day and strengthened compliance and scalability through broader global coverage.
Clara Shi, CEO of WorldFirst and Vice President of Ant International, said,
“Efficient payment and account services are no longer optional—they are fundamental to how platforms operate and compete globally. At WorldFirst, we built our API-integrated enterprise solution precisely to meet this critical need.
It delivers a responsive and streamlined treasury experience, enabling digital platforms to lead in today’s fast-paced market. We remain dedicated to deepening the integration of fintech and global commerce, empowering businesses to seamlessly connect with the world.”
