Onboarding Guide

Onboarding is the process that starts when you decide to integrate Falcon FX and ends when you are ready to process live transactions. This guide introduces the onboarding methods and the requirements for completing the process.

Onboarding methods

Falcon FX provides two paths to get started, depending on your business needs:

API Integration

We recommend the API integration path for businesses that need to embed Falcon FX capabilities directly into their own systems and workflows. This path provides full programmatic access to all Falcon FX products — MCP Lock-Price, RFQ Market-Price, Dynamic Pricing, and AnXin-Sell Hedging.
The onboarding requirements can vary depending on your business type and the Falcon FX products you intend to use. Please refer to the respective product page for further details:
  • MCP Lock-Price
  • RFQ Market-Price
  • Dynamic Pricing
  • AnXin-Sell Hedging

Business and Identity verification

Please note that business verification and identity verification checks are a big part of the onboarding process. Throughout the registration process, you will be asked to provide certain business-related supporting materials. You will also be asked to verify your identity to comply with anti-money laundering policy.
We recommend you to read the onboarding requirements and prepare the required materials before you begin the process.

Submit onboarding application

Once you have submitted your application, our team will review your case and get back to you. If your application is approved, you will receive an email notification indicating your onboarding to Falcon FX has been completed.

Portal Access

The Portal access path is suitable for clients who prefer to use the OnePortal interface for FX operations. This path is available for RFQ Market-Price (T0/T1/T2) and AnXin-Sell Hedging (Premium/Basic).
  1. Fill up the form at the WorldFirst Portal.
  1. Alternatively, Contact our Merchant Service team by email.
Our Merchant Service team will collect necessary information from you and guide you through the whole process.
We recommend you familiarise yourself with the Onboarding process and Quick Start before you start the WorldFirst integration.
