Ant International’s WorldFirst has launched an AI-powered API enterprise solution to support large businesses’ global growth with a unified financial stack.
The solution covers checkout, business account, global spend, AI FX, real-time treasury and Embedded Finance, expanding the company’s reach from SMEs to large organisations. The focus of the rollout is on digital platforms and businesses in select sectors such as ecommerce, the gig economy, SaaS, and online travel.
Supporting enterprises in their growth strategies
According to McKinsey research, it is projected that within six years, digital platforms will facilitate more than 30% of global economic activity, meaning about USD 60 trillion. These enterprises currently operate digitally and expand globally, though they face critical financial obstacles such as inefficient payments, high costs, compliance complexity, and fragmented customer experience.
The solution aims to offer a comprehensive suite of financial tools accessible via an integrated API platform, helping global enterprises automate key functions directly within their existing systems. Adopters can tap into 200 markets through the company’s multi-currency World Account, with compliance backed by 60 global licences.
Other key features include stronger global spend tools, with companies launching and managing card issuing via World Card and making mass payouts in more than 00 currencies to bank accounts and wallets globally, and smarter treasury management by using Ant International’s Falcon AI model for 90% accuracy on liquidity and FX forecasting.
The solution powers 95% of same-day global transfers and real-time settlement in 25 currencies through WorldFirst’s network of banking partners for faster money movement. The API, combined with AI-native integration, increases efficiency, enabling users to access an AI toolkit for risk management, compliance, and global support at any time of day.
WorldFirst believes that efficient payment and account solutions are no longer optional, as they are crucial to how platforms operate and compete in the global market. The company offers API-integrated enterprise solutions to meet this need, providing a simple treasury experience that enables digital platforms to scale in an ever-evolving landscape. WorldFirst remains committed to deepening the integration of fintech and global commerce, supporting businesses that seek to connect with the world.
