Found this, report from 2nd January -
Alibaba's financial service brand Ant Financial is in advanced talks to buy UK currency transfer service WorldFirst, according to reports by Sky News.
The takeover deal is worth about $700m and is the result of several months of discussions between the two companies, says the report.

Shame used them before Transferwise came on the scene and up until then they took some beating. I guess if Alibaba did buy them a Chinese company might have problems getting State licenses to trade in the US.

Literally just recommended them to a friend yesterday as we have had good dealings with them in the past. Better go withdraw that recommendation!
