From my standpoint as an experienced trader, WorldFirst presents a mixed picture when it comes to trustworthiness. Its regulation under Australia’s ASIC and its lengthy operational history initially gave me a sense of confidence. Having ASIC oversight has historically been a sign that a broker must adhere to certain legal and operational standards. WorldFirst’s structure also appears highly tailored to businesses and e-commerce operators, with transparent fees for most services and a focus on global payments rather than spot retail forex trading. However, my deeper investigation raised significant concerns. Notably, there are multiple user reports of sudden account locks and demands for large “risk funds” or “unfreezing deposits” as a prerequisite for withdrawing funds. These demands—such as requiring $5,000 or even $10,000 to access one’s own money—are not standard industry practice and frankly set off alarm bells for me. The difficulty users faced when trying to escalate or resolve these disputes further erodes my confidence. I am always cautious about any broker where account access can be restricted and communication is not transparent or readily available via multiple verified channels. In short, while WorldFirst is officially regulated and has some positive client feedback, the repeated, unresolved withdrawal issues reported by multiple users would make me personally extremely cautious about placing significant funds with them. For me, transparent processes and the ability to withdraw funds without arbitrary conditions are non-negotiable prerequisites for trust.
