Ant International is pairing autonomous financial workflows with a security architecture designed to keep those workflows under business control. The company announced on September 18, 2026, that it is launching a full stack of AI-native products for payments, accounts, foreign exchange, treasury and merchant growth.
The release describes the package as an industry first, but that designation comes from Ant International itself. The offering contains close to 100 products across the company’s Alipay+, Antom, WorldFirst and Bettr businesses, with rollout planned across global markets during fall and winter 2026.
Ant International Puts Agents Inside Financial Operations
Peng Yang, CEO of Ant International, presented the products at the company’s annual VOYAGE merchant event in Shanghai.
“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,” — Peng Yang, CEO of Ant International
Ant International says its goal is to help businesses improve existing financial tasks while preparing for agent-managed operations. The company says 89.5% of clients using its main merchant payment service deployed its FinAI products during the past 12 months, while AI assisted with 81.4% of payment tasks.
The platform is designed around five operational areas: payment, account management, foreign exchange, treasury and growth. Natural-language autopilots are built into payment, account and treasury products, allowing users to carry out tasks through conversational interfaces rather than separate tools and manual processes.
Antom and FalconTST Supply the Modeling Layer
Two proprietary models support the new product range. Antom 3-in-1 Transformer is a payment foundation model that processes sequential, tabular and graph data in one system. Ant International says the model has more than 10 billion parameters and processes 90 trillion units of data annually.
The company says the model supports fraud detection, scam prevention, abuse prevention and payment-success optimization. For leading large-language-model clients using its new subscription service, Ant International says chargeback rates fell by as much as 87%.
FalconTST targets foreign-exchange exposure and liquidity planning. Ant International describes it as a time-series transformer with more than 8.5 billion parameters, trained on data from finance, retail, energy, travel and other sectors. The company says the model has achieved more than 93% accuracy in foreign-exchange and cash-flow forecasting, while real-world cases reduced corporate hedging and allocation costs by 30% to 60%.
Payment, Accounts and Treasury Get Separate Autopilots
Antom Autopilot covers the merchant payment lifecycle, including onboarding, integration, payment routing, risk protection, revenue recovery, troubleshooting, financial analysis and reconciliation. Ant International says the system has reduced lead time to first transaction from days to minutes, while the number of merchants using AI for integration quadrupled over the past year.
Antom SmartDispute recommends dispute-management and appeal strategies. The company says average dispute success rates rose from 24.5% to 41.8% for users of the service. A fully automated version, Antom AutoDispute, is also available.
WorldFirst supplies the account and treasury services. Its enterprise products use supervised agent workflows for compliance checks, payment management, fraud defense, chargeback control and foreign-exchange planning. For smaller businesses, Wyn is a natural-language agent that can open accounts and apply for World Card products supporting 17 currencies through a single command.
The treasury suite adds World Map for cash visibility, Falcon Forecast for cash-flow and liquidity predictions, Falcon FX for pricing and hedging, Whale Pooling for funds movement, and World Payout for selecting payout routes. Ant International says World Map refreshes cash positions across markets, banks, currencies and accounts every 30 minutes.
Agentic Payments Add a Second Control Layer
Ant International is also introducing agent-native financial products, including what it calls the world’s first Account for Agent for businesses. The account uses know-your-agent controls, smart contracts, monitoring, intervention and feedback mechanisms intended to keep automated financial actions within approved boundaries.
The company’s Agentic Mobile Protocol, or AMP, connects digital wallets, super apps, smart devices and other mobile interfaces to payments made by AI agents. Ant International says ten Alipay+ wallet partners and seven acquirers support the first phase of AMP, which launched in April 2026.
AMP is designed to let users authorize specific tasks without handing over full account control. Ant International says the protocol cuts the steps needed to connect an agent to a wallet by 50% and supports agent-to-agent settlements as small as $0.000001.
AgentSafePay provides a fund-back guarantee for losses tied to agent-specific risks, including intent misinterpretation and malicious prompt injection. The product sits alongside Ant International’s broader fraud, scam and abuse defenses rather than replacing them.
WhaleRTP Extends the Stack Into Settlement
A blockchain-based wholesale settlement platform, WhaleRTP, forms the other infrastructure pillar in the release. Ant International says the platform connects blockchain assets across 23 financial institutions and uses real-time settlement to support treasury management.
The company says WhaleRTP handled 45% of Ant International’s cross-border volume in 2025, reducing working-capital requirements by 60% and increasing interest income by 23%. Those figures are company-reported performance claims rather than independently audited results in the announcement.
Ant International says its wider network links 150 million merchants with more than 2 billion consumer accounts across 210 markets. Its payment network includes 53 digital wallets and ten national QR schemes, with average daily transaction volume above 25 million.
The products announced on September 18 are scheduled to roll out globally during fall and winter 2026. The immediate test will be whether businesses adopt the conversational and agent-managed workflows without giving up the approval, monitoring and recovery controls that Ant International has built around them.
