In 2025, Ant International facilitated more than 2 billion digital cross-border transactions, spanning key regions including Southeast Asia, South Asia, the Middle East, and Latin America. As of early 2026, the company supports a global network of over 150 million merchants, with small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) making up the vast majority of its client base.
The company’s Alipay+ platform has achieved significant scale, linking 1.8 billion user accounts from 40 different payment partners to merchants in over 100 markets. This reach is further bolstered by collaborations with 11 national QR networks and a strategic partnership with Mastercard. This alliance allows users of wallets like AlipayHK, GCash, and Kakao Pay to utilize NFC tap-to-pay technology at any Mastercard-enabled location.
Looking ahead, Ant International President Douglas Feagin emphasized a commitment to expanding their services through AI-driven innovation. The firm aims to provide more affordable digital payment, financing, and commerce solutions globally. By lowering costs and increasing accessibility, the company intends to further strengthen its cross-border financial ecosystem.
