Frequently asked questions
Straight answers on how Globe works, who we partner with, and how your account is actually held.
- Is Globe Digital Bank a bank?
- No. Globe Digital Bank is a digital banking discovery platform. We are not a bank and we do not hold deposits or issue accounts ourselves. We help you find and connect with licensed banks, fintech platforms and financial service providers — including WorldFirst — who open and hold your account under their own regulated licenses.
- What does "Powered by WorldFirst" mean?
- WorldFirst is our featured global partner for business banking, multi-currency accounts, international transfers and FX. When you open a business account through Globe, the account itself is provided and regulated by WorldFirst, a London-founded payments platform that is part of Ant Group (Ant International). Globe helps you discover and reach these services.
- How does Globe make money?
- Globe is free to use. When you sign up for a partner service through one of our links, that partner may pay Globe a referral fee. This never adds any cost to you — you receive the same pricing you would get by going to the partner directly.
- Who actually holds my money and my account?
- Always the licensed partner you sign up with — WorldFirst, Jetonbank, Nexo, Crypto.com, Interactive Brokers, Narvi or others. Each partner is responsible for onboarding, KYC, account terms, deposits and regulatory compliance in the markets it serves. Globe does not take custody of funds.
- How long does it take to open an account?
- Most partners offer fully digital onboarding. Business accounts through WorldFirst are free to open with local account details in 20+ currencies, and personal accounts can be opened online in minutes with digital ID verification — no branch visit and no paper forms.
- Which countries and currencies are supported?
- Coverage depends on the partner. Together our partners reach 2,500+ cities across 210+ countries and territories, with transfers in 100+ currencies and multi-currency accounts in 20+ currencies. Availability for a specific service is confirmed by the partner during sign-up.
