History
Antom was established in 2023 as part of Ant International’s expansion of its global financial services portfolio.[3][4] The international business was consolidated under Ant International, a Singapore-headquartered company with an independent board of directors.[5][6] Antom is part of Ant International’s portfolio of financial services, which also includes the unified wallet gateway Alipay+, the cross-border business account service WorldFirst, and the embedded finance service Bettr.[7][8][3][9][10]
By 2025, Antom became the primary brand of Ant International for merchant acquiring and payment services.[11] Antom introduced AI-enabled products, including Antom Copilot, an AI assistant for merchants, and an agentic payment solution.[12][13][14]
