Drawing on my personal experience as a forex trader and after thoroughly reviewing the available information on WorldFirst, I believe caution is warranted if you’re considering this provider for your trading or international payment needs. While WorldFirst is regulated by ASIC in Australia and has a long operational history, there are several notable concerns that I can't ignore as a prudent trader. First and most importantly, there have been multiple reports from users detailing serious difficulties withdrawing funds. According to these users, requests for withdrawal were sometimes denied unless an additional “risk fund” was paid—often a substantial amount and outside standard industry practice. In my years of trading, any broker that makes unexpected or unclear demands for extra deposits during withdrawal raises major red flags regarding user fund security and transparency. Additionally, while WorldFirst highlights its regulation under ASIC, its former FCA (UK) license has been marked as “Exceeded,” suggesting potential regulatory lapses abroad. For me, up-to-date and clear cross-jurisdictional licensing is fundamental to trust—especially with a global provider. Lastly, although some business clients report satisfactory experiences, it's clear that WorldFirst is primarily tailored to businesses rather than individual forex traders. The product range and risk controls, as indicated by their “Risk Management Index” score, may not be robust enough for active trading accounts. Based on these points, I would advise a very conservative approach and thorough due diligence before depositing significant funds.
