Ant International, a branch of Ant Group, announced growth in its main business areas.

The rise was linked to expansions in Alipay+, Antom, WorldFirst, and Embedded Finance.

Alipay+, a cross-border mobile payment platform, connects over 90 million merchants across 66 markets to 1.6 billion user accounts. This is an increase from 88 million merchants in 57 markets with 1.5 billion accounts in December 2023.

Cross-border transactions through Alipay+ have tripled in 2024, although specific transaction values remain undisclosed.
