Ant International’s Antom has launched an agentic payment solution, marking a new step in AI-powered commerce. The platform supports both alternative payment methods (APM) and card-based transactions, making it one of the first to partner with Mastercard and Visa in the Asia Pacific for AI agent-driven payments.
The agentic payment solution introduces Antom EasySafePay, an APM checkout designed for faster and more secure transactions. Users can link digital wallets directly on the checkout page without redirection, improving convenience and reducing fraud risks. Backed by Multi-Party Computation and mobile device security, EasySafePay strengthens defenses against phishing and account takeovers.
Antom also set a new framework for transaction security with its AI-ready mandate model. Each transaction links authorization with intent evidence, creating verifiable credentials that improve traceability and dispute resolution. The system follows PCI SSC standards, safeguarding payment assets through cryptography.
Through partnerships with Mastercard’s Agent Pay and Visa’s Intelligent Commerce, Antom is piloting tokenized card-based agentic payments. This allows AI agents to support a wide range of payment methods securely while lowering integration costs for merchants.
Gary Liu, General Manager of Antom, emphasized that agentic payments are a core step in making AI agents practical in daily life. Antom aims to build industry protocols with financial, tech, and commerce partners to advance trusted AI commerce.
With these developments, Antom positions itself as a leader in shaping AI-driven payments across markets.
