SHANGHAI and SINGAPORE, Sept. 18, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — In an industry first, Ant 
International launched a full stack of AI-native solutions for payment, account,
FX, treasury and growth operations for global businesses.

The AI-native product suite is built on a **2-layered security architecture**, and
our **2 proprietary foundation models: **a **payment foundation model **(Antom 3-
in-1 Transformer), and a **time-series transformer (TST) forecasting model for FX
and liquidity** (FalconTST).

Underpinning the FinAI stack are also 2 major pillars for payment interoperability
for the AI era: our **Agentic Mobile Protocol** (AMP) and a **blockchain-based wholesale
settlement platform **(WhaleRTP).

unveils the industry’s first Full-Stack AI-Native Solutions for global businesses
in September 2026

This round of sweeping product upgrade aims to support all businesses with an AI
action plan to complete two critical tasks:  

 ◦ Excelling in existing tasks with greater efficiency with comprehensive AI tools;
   and
 ◦ Deploying end-to-end agentic capabilities to maximise future growth.

"The future fintech leader delivers two things: a future-ready trust infrastructure
and foundational FinAI models that combine complex types of deep data and rich domain
expertise, and a full stack of connected AI-native solutions across payment, account,
FX, treasury and growth operations that prepare them for today and the fully agentised
future," said **Peng Yang, CEO of Ant International**, to over 1,100 executives 
at the company’s annual VOYAGE merchant event in Shanghai.

Under Antom, Ant International’s merchant payment service, 89.5% of merchants have
already deployed AI agents. 81.4% of payment tasks were aided by AI. Clients are
also demanding more connected fintech solutions beyond payment to tackle the increasing
complexities of their global operation. 

Ant International offers cross-border digital payment, account, treasury management
and credit tech solutions to global merchants across 4 business pillars: **Alipay
+**, **Antom**, **WorldFirst** and **Bettr**. 

Building on a mobile payment network of 53 digital wallets and 10 national QR schemes,
Ant International links 150 million global merchants to over 2 billion consumer 
accounts. Clients include top-tier global e-commerce, digital & entertainment (D&
E), OTA platforms and industry leaders as well as fastest-growing SMEs in emerging
markets. Daily average transactions exceed 25 million across 210 markets. 

**Technology Foundations**

** Unique Payment Foundation Model: The Antom 3-in-1 Transformer**

 ◦ The industry’s only payment foundation model that simultaneously processes three
   types of core data — sequential (behavior over time), tabular (structured records),
   and graph (relationships between users, entities, and devices). Built on 10 billion
   + parameters, Antom 3-in-1 Transformer processes 90T of data annually. 
 ◦ Cross-modality attention mechanism combines in one unified architecture capabilities
   for fraud detection, scam prevention, abuse prevention, and payment success rate
   optimisation. 
 ◦ Among the leading LLM clients for our newly launched subscription service, chargeback
   rate dropped by as much as 87%.

**Pioneering FX and Liquidity Forecast Model: FalconTST**

 ◦ A first of its kind, FalconTST is an advanced large-scale model built on data
   across finance, retail, energy, travel and other economic sectors to deliver 
   more accurate and dynamic forecasting of FX exposures and cash flows to optimise
   liquidity management and risk control. 
 ◦ Backed by over 8.5 billion parameters, the model has proven capable of achieving
   over 93% accuracy in FX and cashflow forecasting, cutting corporate FX hedging
   and allocation costs by 30% to 60% in real-world cases. 

**2-Layered Security Architecture**

On top of the Antom 3-in-1 Transformer, we build another security layer — a second
Shield — with 

 ◦ A dynamic know-your-agent (**KYA) framework** built with our Alipay+ **Agentic
   Mobile Protocol (AMP)** connecting mobile wallet networks to agentic transactions;
   and 
 ◦ **AgentSafePay**, the industry’s only security product that offers a fund-back
   guarantee against losses from agent-specific risks.

**Alipay+ Agentic Mobile Protocol (AMP)**

The **Alipay+** **Agentic Mobile Protocol** is an open payment protocol built for
digital wallets, super apps, smart devices, and other mobile interfaces to enable
payments by AI agents. 

Since its launch in April 2026, 10 Alipay+ wallet partners and 7 acquirers now support
AMP in Phase 1. In addition to AgentSafePay and our KYA architecture as its pillars,
key features of AMP include:

 ◦ **End-to-end agentic transactions across devices**: No need to switch apps or
   change payment habits across mobile AI interfaces like smartphones and AR glasses.
 ◦ **Faster agent integration** cuts steps required to link a payment agent to a
   wallet by 50%.
 ◦ **Clear boundaries of permissions** for users to authorise the task, not hand
   over the account, with real-time visibility and control of agents. 
 ◦ **High-frequency nano-grade agent-to-agent (A2A) settlement mechanism** enables
   automated, ultra-small transactions as tiny as $0.000001 between AI agents. 
 ◦ A collaborative framework for **KYA interoperability** with Mastercard and Visa
   to build interoperable agent-security standards.

**Blockchain-based Wholesale Settlement Platform: WhaleRTP**

 ◦ A next-gen treasury management solution that optimises liquidity management while
   enabling seamless interoperability across blockchain assets from 23 leading financial
   institutions.
 ◦ In 2025, WhaleRTP processed 45% of Ant International’s cross-border volume, reducing
   working capital requirements by 60% and boosting interest income by 23%.

**Full-Stack, AI-Native Solutions across Global Payment, Account, FX, Treasury and
Growth Operations **

**AI-Native Global Payment**

Built on the payment foundation model, **Antom Autopilot** handles the entire merchant
payment lifecycle in a single conversational window, from onboarding, integration,
orchestration, risk protection, revenue recovery, to troubleshooting, financial 
analysis and reconciliation, and new market expansion. 

In real cases, Antom Autopilot cut lead time to first transaction from days to minutes.
Merchants using AI integration quadrupled in last 12 months. By the end of 2026,
95% of merchants are expected to onboard new payment methods within 1 hour. 

**Antom SmartDispute**, which advises on full dispute management and appeal strategies,
drives average dispute success rate from 24.5% to 41.8%. The fully automated **Antom
AutoDispute **is also available.

Other key AI payment products include:

   smart routing, retries failed payments at the right time or through a better 
   path, and sorts payment options to drive checkout conversion.

   complete the entire payment journey on the merchant checkout page, reducing the
   need for redirection to a wallet app.

   for (1) protection against existing fraud, scam, and abuse risks amplified by
   AI, and (2) defense against agentic-specific risks with our KYA framework and

   into agentic environments: (1) different integration techniques beyond traditional

   methods not compatible with agents.
