World First is a UK-based foreign exchange company. It offers currency exchange and international payments to private clients, corporate and e-Commerce clients in the UK and a number of other countries. ==History== World First was launched to provide a fast, fair and effortless way to help people move money across borders, with the goal of offering people a true alternative to big banks. World First's story began in 2004 when two friends, Jonathan Quin and Nick Robinson, set up in a basement flat in Stockwell, South London, armed with the experience of 10 years in corporate banking and what Jonathan now calls ‘an entrepreneurial naivety’. Having gone about employing the right people to deliver an outstanding level of customer service, build the fastest, most reliable systems for transfers and ensure the highest levels of transparency, integrity and security, their quiet revolution to offer customers a better alternative to the banks began. In a little over 10 years, they've grown from that south London basement into a global business with offices in London, Singapore, Hong Kong, Sydney, Washington, and Austin (TX). They've expanded the range of currencies they can support and broadened their licensing footprint meaning they've been able to help tens of thousands of clients around the world. 〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=World First Company Timeline )〕 In April 2008, World First—through its subsidiary World First Markets Ltd—started to offer option and derivative hedging structures. On 1 November 2009, World First UK Ltd was granted ''Authorised Payment Institution'' status by the Financial Services Authority. It was amongst the first round of companies to apply for and be granted this status which ensures client funds are protected from creditors. The same year the company was registered as a Money Service Business in the UK with HM Revenue & Customs in relation to the execution of spot and forward foreign exchange transactions. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「World First」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
