Ant International’s Antom expands services through Google and Affirm partnerships

Ant International’s merchant payment platform, Antom, has entered into two strategic partnerships to expand its service offerings in Asia and the United States.

In Asia, Antom is partnering with Google Gemini to increase accessibility to AI tools for learning and productivity. The initiative launched in Indonesia, where it has already reached approximately 10 million users, including students receiving 12-month free trials of Google AI Plus through digital wallets like DANA and GoPay. The collaboration utilizes Antom’s A+Rewards digital marketing solution to connect AI services with a network of 2.85 billion active digital payment users.

In the United States, Antom is integrating Affirm into its merchant portal. This allows U.S. merchants to offer customers pay-over-time options, including biweekly or monthly payment plans on purchases ranging from $35 to $30,000. The partnership aims to provide transparency and flexible financing at checkout, with plans to expand Affirm services to the United Kingdom later this year.
