Positive experience with client support

Dear Stephanie (customer support),
May you keep your positive vibe and your helpful, joy filled way of working with people. It has been a great customer support experience for me and your way of explaining and relating to my inquiries have been most helpful.
Thank you and may you keep it up. It makes all the difference in the world.

Perfect

My World First account was activated in less than 24 hours after my application. I was very pleased with this fast service. Also, Mr. Kaan, whom I spoke to on the phone, was very helpful and polite. He provided me with all the necessary information in detail and instilled confidence. It was also wonderful to be able to speak in my native language.

Hi CP

I am sorry to hear the return of funds has not been received yet.

We are still waiting on the bank to process their end of the return. I can see that we are regularly chasing this.

As soon as our team has an update, we will let you know.

Poor service - WorldFirst

I recently opened an account at WorldFirst, for my business registered in UK. I went through all the paperwork followed all steps, at the end my account was finally created, but I noticed that everything was good, except the ability to receiving payments from business customers which was the main reason for opening the account. I reached out to customer support but they couldn’t give me an explanation or provide me the requirements to get it sorted out. The agent was not empathetic at all and was unwilling to help or at least provide me with the information I need.

Hi Jerson

To confirm, we are not a bank; as such, we don't allow funds in from individuals.

During your registration, we do highlight that we can only accept funds in from same name top-up or from accepted marketplaces.

stay away

This is main reason if you have to send payment to your supplier then payment still not received when you have to open case then they will closed your account and theft your money .
Total Payment :8,000.00 GBP
above is the payment details last 2 month payment did not receive to benefiery now they have to closed our business acount not responcing our email.
We have recently conducted a review of your account and have determined that the services we provide to MUHAMMADYOUNISBALOCHI LTD falls outside of our commercial risk appetite.

As such, I am afraid we will no longer be able to provide our services to your account moving forward. We will be looking to close your account within the next five days.
However, we will not be accepting any new funds into your account with immediate effect. As such, I would ask that you contact any of your payers to make alternative arrangements.

Hi FA ST

To confirm you made a payment for £8,000 in January, we have not yet received any return of this payment.

Your account has been closed very recently, however, if this £8,000 does return, we will let you know. However, we do advise that you make alternative arrangements with the beneficiary bank if possible.

Excellent resolution of a complex operational incident

I am updating this review entirely on my own initiative to reflect the positive resolution of my case.

My company, Perennix Ltd, recently experienced a technical and operational incident regarding an inbound transaction. I fully recognise and appreciate the high degree of complexity and difficulty involved in this matter, which intertwined technical systems, rigorous compliance frameworks, and partner integrations.

I would like to extend my sincere gratitude to the technical support staff, the wider WorldFirst team, and specifically the SLT (Senior Leadership Team) for stepping in and successfully resolving the situation.

I have a profound respect for the wider Ant Group and deeply value the efforts deployed by the WorldFirst staff to resolve this, despite the human and technical challenges inherent in such robust financial systems.

Thank you for your professionalism and dedication. I look forward to a positive and long-lasting collaboration.

Crap

Crap - my business was rejected outright with absolutely no information as to why or what needed to be provided - WorldFirst simply sent an email after all the effort to verify and print documents saying 'your application is rejected and we cannot tell you why'. Don’t waste your time filling out the forms . (it was a completed application - not as the company is claiming in their response)

Excellent support from Chloe!

I had some initial difficulties with my registration and SMS verification, but Chloe from the support team was absolutely fantastic. She was very professional, responsive, and stayed with me until the issue was completely resolved. Thanks to her help, my company FZ GLOBAL VENTURES LTD now has its account ready to go. Highly recommend their customer service, especially Chloe!
