Ant Int’l processes 2 billion cross-border payments in 2025

Its Alipay+ platform now connects over 1.8 billion users across 100 markets, it said.

Ant International said that it supported over 2 billion digital cross-border transactions in 2205 across Southeast Asia (SEA), South Asia, the Middle East, and Latin American markets.

The payments company serves over 150 million merchants globally, 90% of which are small and medium enterprises (SMEs), according to a press release in January 2026.

The Alipay+ platform connects more than 1.8 billion user accounts across 40 international payment partners to merchants across more than 100 markets. It currently collaborates with 11 national QR networks globally.

Through a partnership with Mastercard, Alipay+ partners— AlipayHK, GCash and Kakao Pay— can tap-to-pay via NFC across Mastercard-enabled merchants.

Ant International will “work even harder” to offer AI-powered digital payments, financing, commerce, and cross-border solutions at a lower cost, said Douglas Feagin, president of Ant International.
