KUALA LUMPUR: Singapore-headquartered Ant International announced its payment and digitisation services provider, Antom, with AirAsia MOVE, has signed a partnership agreement to transform travel, including seamless payment experiences on the app.
Under the agreement, AirAsia MOVE will work closely with Antom and 2C2P, a full-suite global payments platform and a subsidiary of Antom.
According to a statement, this collaboration is set to integrate Antom and 2C2P’s advanced payment solutions, including payment orchestration and acquiring for both cards and local payment methods (LPMs), into AirAsia MOVE’s platform.
These cutting-edge technologies will empower AirAsia MOVE to streamline payment methods, reduce cross-border transaction costs and operational expenses, and broaden its consumer base while providing customers with a wider range of preferred payment options.
"Our advanced solutions, including payment orchestration and acquiring for both cards and LPMs, enable AirAsia MOVE to expand its reach to more consumers across the Asia-Pacific region and beyond.
"By combining our expertise and AI-driven payment technologies, we are committed to improving operational efficiency, enhancing customer satisfaction, and unlocking long-term value together,” said General Manager of Antom, Ant International, Gary Liu.
Meanwhile, AirAsia MOVE Chief Executive Officer, Nadia Omer said: "By integrating Antom and 2C2P’s advanced solutions, we are enhancing efficiency, improving customer satisfaction, and delivering significant cost savings.”
This partnership agreement between AirAsia MOVE, Antom, and 2C2P is part of a strategic partnership announced last March between Capital A and Ant International that covers various areas.
This includes exploring ways to integrate more payment methods and providing acquiring services to Capital A’s platforms, working on digital marketing and sponsorship opportunities to drive business growth, and cooperating in enhancing access to sustainable finance while transitioning to a low-carbon economy for the micro, small and medium enterprise community. - Bernama
