Ant International’s Antom launches agentic payment solution

Antom can specifically connect AI agents to APMs using Antom EasySafePay. 

Ant International’s Antom has launched its agentic payment solution, featuring a first-of-its-kind alternative payment method (APM) checkout solution.

Antom can specifically connect AI agents to APMs using Antom EasySafePay. Antom EasySafePay allows users to link their digital wallets directly to the checkout page without being redirected to external apps.

The solution supports embedded payment flows through dialogue-based interactions with AI agents, according to a press release.

It also covers confirmed purchase requests and conditional, pre-authorized transactions such as purchases with predefined spending limit or scheduled flash sales.

Antom, a merchant payment and digitisation services provider under Ant International, is amongst the first partners of Mastercard and Visa to pilot card-based transaction capabilities for AI agents, according to a press release.
