Drawing from my experience navigating various forex and payment platforms, understanding the full costs of trading is critical to protecting one's capital. With WorldFirst, my research shows the broker is primarily designed to support business payment services and cross-border currency transfers, not individual retail trading of instruments like the US100 index. Their fee structures are transparently outlined for FX conversions and business payments, typically ranging from 0.4% (capped at AUD 15) for popular currencies, and up to 0.67% or more for minors. For forward contracts used in hedging, there may be additional costs of up to 0.2% per month. However, it's important to highlight that I could not find specific information from WorldFirst regarding access to or costs associated with trading stock indices such as the US100. The platform’s product focus is on multi-currency accounts, FX services, and mass payment solutions for SMEs, not retail trading of indices. This lack of clarity, coupled with some alarming user reports about unexpected withdrawal barriers and required “risk fees,” makes me especially cautious. In summary, while FX-related costs are relatively transparent for business clients, those seeking retail index trading—especially for the US100—will not find sufficient cost disclosures or even confirmed access to such instruments at WorldFirst. For me, this lack of detail and purpose-built service means it doesn't fit high-trust, transparent trading needs, especially for indices. I would recommend thorough due diligence and direct vendor confirmation before considering any such trades.
