Numeral and BNP Paribas Partner to Power WorldFirst and Europe’s Leading Payments Companies
This partnership will enable WorldFirst to serve its European customers better.

Paris, France, 4th Jun 2024 – Numeral, the payments technology provider, and BNP Paribas, Europe’s leading bank, today announced a partnership to enable payment companies, including WorldFirst, Alma, Swile and Floa, to embed SEPA and local payments into their products seamlessly, become SEPA participants, and optimise their payment operations at scale.
This bank-fintech partnership will enable WorldFirst, a one-stop digital payment and financial services platform for global businesses, especially SMEs in international trade, to better support its European merchant clients for Euro collections by offering these businesses accelerated payment processes and heightened security throughout the European Economic Area (EEA).
WorldFirst is committed to integrating into more regional and local payment schemes, thereby empowering SMEs to seamlessly conduct trade and business operations across the globe. Currently, WorldFirst customers can have multi-currency World Account with payments to 200+ markets worldwide in over 100 currencies, 90% of which are settled within the same day.
”BNP Paribas has strong ambitions to support global and European fintech leaders in addressing the European market and helping the future champions emerge. As Europe’s leading bank, BNP Paribas offers the pan-European payment, treasury, and account solutions to do so. This strategic partnership with Numeral enables us to distribute these services more efficiently to our customers,” says Marc Espagnon, Head of Cash Management at BNP Paribas.
This partnership allows joint customers to easily access BNP Paribas’ services through Numeral’s single API and dashboard, which facilitates integration with fintechs’ modern architectures. As a result, payment companies benefit from faster time to market, reduced maintenance costs, and a future-proof payment infrastructure thanks to BNP Paribas’ extensive local payment systems coverage.
“Banks are critical to fintechs’ success, as they provide access to payment schemes, accounts and additional financial services that are core to fintechs’ offerings. Partnering with BNP Paribas gives our joint customers access to one of the biggest catalogues of services and the strongest expertise to scale in Europe,” says Édouard Mandon, co-founder and CEO at Numeral. “Numeral aggregates BNP Paribas best-in-class solutions into a single cloud-native, API-first platform from which joint customers can automate their payment operations across Europe”.
Through this partnership, joint clients can access SEPA, including SEPA instant, and Polish, Nordic, and Swiss payment schemes, access their BNP Paribas account information in real-time, and automate treasury payments to optimise their safeguarding operations.
“Originally established in London two decades ago, WorldFirst has evolved into a global company, proudly serving over a million SMEs. With a strong heritage and focus on the European market, WorldFirst will continue to offer tailor-made solutions that cater to the unique needs of businesses within this key region. To that end, we will work towards becoming a SEPA participant via partnering with a leading sponsor bank. This partnership will enable our European customers to benefit from Europe’s leading banking expertise and fintech innovation, so they can access fast, easy and secure payment and collection services in Euros through WorldFirst,” said Clara Shi, CEO of WorldFirst.

From Setbacks to Strategy: Just Digital Marketing Launches in Irvine to Redefine What It Means to Be an Agency Partner
Just Digital Marketing, based in Irvine, CA, blends AI, data, and strategy with a human touch to help businesses scale purposefully.

Irvine, California, United States, 4th Apr 2025 – In an industry full of flashy sales decks and underwhelming follow-through, a new agency has arrived with a different kind of story—and a whole new kind of purpose. Meet Just Digital Marketing, a strategy-first, data-driven digital marketing agency built by partners who know firsthand how hard business can be—and how powerful marketing really is when done right.
Just Digital Marketing is a new agency launched in Irvine, CA, which is redefining what it means to be a true agency partner. Built by seasoned marketers with over $100M in managed ad spend, the agency blends strategy, data, and AI with a deeply human approach. Born from personal and professional resilience, Just Digital Marketing offers expert-led, hands-on marketing powered by its proprietary Surge Method—helping growth-stage businesses break through and scale with purpose.
The team behind Just Digital Marketing isn’t new to this game. They’ve helped clients manage over $100 million in ad spend, scale startups to exits, and grow companies through plateaus. But over the last few years, their journey wasn’t just professional—it was deeply personal.
After running successful agencies and working with hundreds of clients across the country, the founding duo faced a wave of personal and financial hardships: a string of heartbreaking losses, failed IVF treatments, and the closure of one of their businesses due to the pandemic. It was a hard reset, both emotionally and financially.
“We had to ask ourselves—what really matters? Who are we really trying to help?” said co-founder S.J. Daneau. “We knew we were great at growing companies. That had never changed. But we wanted to build something that felt different—more intentional, more real, more human.”
While one business closed, their digital marketing work never stopped. In fact, throughout those tough years, they were quietly helping clients hit record-breaking numbers, enter new markets, and exit their companies for millions. That’s what planted the seed for Just Digital Marketing—a chance to rebuild with more heart, more clarity, and a sharper eye on what actually works today.
Just Digital Marketing is now officially launched in Irvine, CA, serving Orange County and the greater Southern California region.
This isn’t your typical agency model. Every account is run by experienced marketers—no junior handoffs, no smoke and mirrors. At the core of their approach is the Surge Method, a four-step growth framework rooted in data, AI-powered insights, and modern consumer behavior.
“Consumer attention has changed. The tools have changed. But most agencies haven’t,” said Daneau. “We use the latest technology—AI, predictive data models, deep analytics—but what makes us different is that we actually care. We take it personally when our clients win.”
Just Digital Marketing’s mission is simple: deliver high-level strategy, hands-on partnership, and measurable results to companies that are ready to grow. Whether a business is scaling fast, stuck at a plateau, or looking to rebuild after a tough season—Just Digital Marketing brings the clarity, structure, and experience to help make the next chapter their best one.
“We’ve had clients triple revenue, launch into new markets, build teams from scratch, or finally feel like they understand their own numbers,” said Daneau. “That kind of growth—it changes lives. Seeing the confidence come back, watching a business owner feel back in control, knowing we played a part in that… that’s what drives us. We’re all in on the people behind the business.”
Just Digital Marketing is now accepting a limited number of new client partnerships across Orange County and Southern California.
Discovery calls and executive-led strategy sessions can be scheduled through their website https://justdigitalmarketing.com/
For any questions, call +1 (949) 987-4293 or send an email to media@justdigitalmarketing.com.
About Just Digital Marketing

Founded by two long-time agency partners with 15+ years of experience and over $100M in managed ad spend, the agency helps growth-stage businesses scale using a hands-on, data-informed approach powered by its proprietary Surge Method.
