Manage your accounts
WorldFirst offers the following account management features:
- Inquire about the account information: You can query the relevant account information.
- Check account balances: You can query the account balance details.
Inquire about the account information
Use inquiryAccount API to send a request to WorldFirst to query the account information, for example, the account status, account number, currency and etc. After receiving your request, WorldFirst will return the information you need.
The following graphic illustrates the general workflow:

Check account balances
Use inquiryBalance API to send a request to WorldFirst to query the details of your account balance. For example:
- After making a prefunding deposit to your WorldFirst account, you can call the inquiryBalance API to check if prefunding is successful.
- Before making a transfer request, you can call the inquiryBalance API to check whether the account balance is sufficient.
In the event of changes in your account balances, WorldFirst will always notify you of the change via notifyVostro API regardless of whether inquiryBalance is called or not.
