Congratulations to the Korea chapter 🇰🇷winners of the grand prize at last night's Congress Cup opening ceremony in Singapore.

The prize was a framed Argentina national team shirt, signed by the squad, including the captain. It went to Korea through a lucky draw of over 100 members in the room.

The Congress Cup is Bosses United Singapore 's first cross-Asia tournament, with chapters from Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Hong Kong, Korea and Japan. WorldFirst is title sponsor and official payment partner.

Matches run every evening from tonight through Saturday. Well done Korea, and good luck to all six chapters this week. ⚽

Last night, over 100 business owners from six countries sat in one room in Singapore.

Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Hong Kong, Korea and Japan. Bosses United Singapore opened its first Congress Cup, and we're title sponsor and official payment partner.

Most of these are family businesses. Second and third generation. Food, construction, logistics, property, manufacturing. Companies that have been trading across Asia for decades and rarely get mentioned at a fintech conference.

Over the next four evenings they play each other. During the day the tournament bus visits their factories, offices and shopfronts across the island.

We're here because the conversation we want to have with business owners is the one that happens over dinner, not over a webinar.

Matches run 27 to 30 August. More to come.

Check this before your next payout lands.
There is an auto-conversion setting on Amazon, PayPal and Stripe.
It converts your payout for you, at their rate.
On big payouts that is hundreds of dollars, every time.
You will not see it unless you match payout to invoice.
Hold your payout as USD with WorldFirst and the fee is gone.

Setting up your World Account? Here is what trips most people up.
Have your documents ready before you open the signup page: your ID, company registration certificate, shareholder IDs, your full list of directors. Complete facial recognition on your phone. If the face scan does not work, upload a selfie holding your ID card, front and back.
Know your business category. Sole trader and company registration ask for different documents. We see people restart their whole application because they picked the wrong one. Check your actual registration status first.
Wait for account verification before applying for the World Card. Register on the website, not the app — it is built for signups. The app is for transfers and balances once you are live.
No reply after two working days? Check your spam and promotions folders. Your verification email is probably sitting there.

Up to 5% of every payout disappears before it hits your account.

Not to tax. Not to the platform fee you already know about.

To auto-conversion: the platform swaps your currency at their rate on the way out.

Hold USD in a WorldFirst account and there is nothing to convert.

The money lands whole.

How to source Yiwu the smart way.
The market is already mapped online, so do the work from home first.
Look up real booth numbers on Yiwu Go and walk in with a shortlist.
Test small: booths sell by the carton, no full container of one product needed.
A local agent bundles 200 items into a single container for you.
Then pay every booth fast in Chinese Yuan so they ship the same day.
Follow WorldFirst for more sourcing tips.

Want to source from Yiwu without losing money?

First, know what Yiwu actually is: a wholesale market, not a factory town.
The real makers sit in the towns around it.
And half the "factories" online are traders in the market itself.
Step one is knowing exactly who you're paying.

Follow WorldFirst, we break down the how in the next one.

The real price is always further down the ladder.

That $20 toy on Amazon? It leaves the factory for 40 cents.
AliExpress has it at $9. Alibaba at $3, but that's a trading company, not the factory.
An agent screenshots you 60 cents from 1688.
Open 1688 yourself, message the factory on WeChat, talk MOQ, and it drops to 40 cents.
Every step down removes another middleman.
