Ant International launches AI-native finance tools

Ant International, a Singapore- and Shanghai-based cross-border fintech firm that is part of the Ant ecosystem, launched AI-native tools for payments, accounts, foreign exchange, treasury, and growth operations for global businesses at its VOYAGE event in Shanghai on September 18, 2026.

The launch covers nearly 100 products across four business pillars.

They include autopilots for payments, accounts, and treasury, as well as foreign exchange, liquidity forecasting tools, and agentic payment products.

Ant International said the suite is built on a two-layer security architecture and its in-house payment and forecasting models.

The company also said 89.5% of Antom clients deployed its FinAI solutions in the past 12 months.

AI also handled 81.4% of payment tasks on Antom, Ant International’s merchant payment service.

Ant International said it powered over 2 billion transactions in its core emerging markets in 2025 and connected over 150 million merchants with more than 2 billion consumers.

The launch follows a reported spin-off that has fueled IPO speculation.

It also comes as rivals including Stripe add AI features to payment tools, and after Singapore’s regulator issued AI risk management guidelines for financial institutions in 2025.
