Alipay+

Alipay+ expands our payment acceptance to Latin America, starting with Argentina and Chile, while continuing to grow acceptance across the region. This makes it easier for users of our 50 international payment apps to make cross-border payments with their trusted and familiar home e-wallet. Through a single integration, merchants can accept payments from leading e-wallets and banking apps across Asia and Europe, settle in local currency, and access AI-powered risk management and marketing solutions from Alipay+. At Alipay+, we will continue to empower seamless payments, connecting global users with local merchants.

Travel is becoming smarter, more personalised, and increasingly connected by AI ✈️🇹🇭 We’re excited to deepen our collaboration with the Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT) to help accelerate Thailand’s digital travel transformation through Alipay+ AI-powered solutions. Together, we’re exploring how AI, digital payments, and localised services can create more seamless and engaging travel experiences for millions of visitors. At the center of this collaboration is Alipay+ Voyager — our AI travel agent designed to help travellers discover destinations, experiences, dining, and stays in more intuitive and personalized ways. Leveraging AI-driven insights and official tourism data, the initiative introduces curated travel rankings including “Thai Haokan” (Beautiful Sights), “Thai Haochi” (Delicious Eats), “Thai Haowan” (Exciting Activities), and “Thai Haozhu” (Cozy Stays) - offering personalised, end-to-end experiences based on preferences. As global travel rebounds, the opportunity is not just about enabling payments — it’s about reimagining the entire traveller journey through technology. At Alipay+, we believe the next generation of travel experiences will be: ✨ More intelligent   ✨ More localised   ✨ More seamless   ✨ More inclusive for businesses of all sizes Thailand continues to lead as one of Asia’s most dynamic tourism destinations, and we’re proud to work alongside visionary partners to help shape the future of digital travel.

Another step forward for regional connectivity and inclusive commerce. Alipay+ is proud to empower the launch of the Indonesia–China cross-border QR payments linkage, connecting Indonesia’s QRIS ecosystem with China’s leading payment platforms. This is more than just payment interoperability. It’s about unlocking new opportunities for travel, trade, and small businesses across two of Asia’s most dynamic economies. 40 million QRIS merchants in Indonesia can now connect with Chinese travellers, while Indonesian users gain greater convenience in China across more than 80 million merchants. At Alipay+, we believe the future of commerce should feel local everywhere — simple, trusted, and accessible for everyone. As cross-border mobility accelerates across Asia, interoperable payment infrastructure will play an increasingly important role in helping merchants of all sizes participate in global growth. We’re excited to continue supporting the next generation of cross-border commerce across Asia and beyond. Read more: https://lnkd.in/guXnYjt7

We were immensely honoured by the presence of Bank Negara Malaysia Governor Dato' Sri Abdul Rasheed Ghaffour at Ant International’s MO·MENTS 2026 forum in Kuala Lumpur. Malaysia is a leading fintech hub, a model for inclusive digital Islamic finance, and home to our growing KL digital centre now with over 1,000 talents - reflecting the country’s strong, forward-looking policies. To our teammates and partners, the Governor shared that finance must be built on trust, inclusion, scale and impact: “The decisions we make today will define not only how far and how fast payments evolve – but also how meaningful their benefits are shared.” At Ant International, we remain focused on empowering global connectivity, supporting SMEs and advancing inclusive digitalisation together with all our partners.
