Payments got a software layer. Telecom never did.

Read our full story
  1. Paying works anywhere now

    Your card works in any shop, in any country. Software took over the hard parts: local rules, banks and borders.

  2. Telecom never caught up

    Roaming fees, borders and operator walls are still standing. For most people, mobile has barely improved in 20 years.

  3. So we started Firsty

    Our founders helped make that change happen in payments. Now we do the same for telecom: one platform, so any company can offer connectivity anywhere.

A global roaming platform

Data and calling in every country, through one integration.

Local telecom, country by country

Integrations for full local telecom packages, starting with Belgium.

About Firsty

Firsty is a Dutch-Singaporean telecom company founded in 2023 by former Adyen engineers, on a mission to enable people and platforms to stay online globally. Today, over 1.4M users and global enterprises like Uber, Grab, Belfius and Mastercard trust Firsty to stay connected, or to embed mobile data directly into their own products for customers and employees.

Firsty integrates over 600 local carriers into a single global platform. This infrastructure allows consumers to use the Firsty app to skip confusing roaming fees and get online in minutes, while companies use it to power connectivity inside their own apps. By connecting directly into local networks, Firsty bridges the gap between everyday travelers and global digital products.
