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 2 proprietary foundation models: a payment foundation model (Antom 3-in-1 Transformer), and a time-series transformer forecasting model for FX and liquidity (FalconTST).

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

Technology Foundations for AI-Native Financial Stack

Unique Payment Foundation Model Antom 3-in-1 Transformer is industry's only payment foundation model that simultaneously processes three types of core data — sequential, tabular and graph. Cross-modality attention mechanism combines in one unified architecture capabilities for fraud detection, scam prevention, abuse prevention and payment success rate optimisation. Among leading LLM clients for newly launched subscription service, chargeback rate dropped by as much as 87%.

Pioneering FX and Liquidity Forecast Model FalconTST is first of its kind built on data across finance, retail, energy, travel and other economic sectors to deliver more accurate forecasting of FX exposures and cash flows. Model has proven capable of cutting corporate FX hedging and allocation costs by 30% to 60% in real-world cases.

2-Layered Security Architecture includes dynamic KYA framework built with Alipay+ Agentic Mobile Protocol connecting mobile wallet networks to agentic transactions and AgentSafePay offering 100% fund guarantee against losses from intent misinterpretation and malicious prompt injection.

Alipay+ Agentic Mobile Protocol and WhaleRTP Wholesale Settlement

Alipay+ Agentic Mobile Protocol is open payment protocol built for digital wallets, super apps, smart devices and mobile interfaces to enable payments by AI agents. Since launch in April 2026, 10 Alipay+ wallet partners and 7 acquirers support AMP in Phase 1. Features include end-to-end agentic transactions across devices, faster agent integration cutting steps by 50%, clear permission boundaries with real-time visibility, high-frequency nano-grade A2A settlement as tiny as $0.000001, and collaborative KYA interoperability with Mastercard and Visa.

Blockchain-based Wholesale Settlement Platform WhaleRTP is next-gen treasury management solution optimising liquidity while enabling 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%.
