World First, the fintech payments and currency specialist, has celebrated the one-year anniversary of its cross-border money transfer business in Singapore. World First’s Singapore operation is the company's second Asia office, after Hong Kong.
World First provides a secure online money payment platform to private individuals and small and medium sized enterprises globally. Its knowledge and expertise in global currency markets enables clients to make international payments quickly, efficiently and safely.
The company counts Singaporeans and expatriates with cross-border investments and personal finance needs as clients. Access to World First’s global network and payment infrastructure enables clients to manage currency volatility, while receiving seamless customer service and expert currency assistance for the world’s top markets.
Jabu Henson, Managing Director of World First Asia, commented: “Our expansion into Singapore a year ago proved to be the right decision and we are excited by the growth of our operations in this market. We have exceeded our expected growth rate of 60%, expanded our market share and nearly doubled the number of employees. Our outstanding exchange rates have allowed us to capitalise on the pent-up demand for safe and secure international payments and generate meaningful savings for our clients.”
Rebecca Snape, Head of Dealing, World First Singapore, added: “One year on, we are even more focused on building our presence and client base in the region. We support government initiatives to nurture a dynamic fintech sector in Singapore as we know firsthand the difference that this kind of innovation and competition can make to individuals and businesses. Our mission is to change the way that businesses and people move money internationally, making it easier, faster and more secure. We are happy that we were here first to catch and ride this wave of innovation and we will continue to push to bring our service to more and more people and businesses.”
