Antom, a merchant payment and digitisation services provider under Ant International, has launched an agentic payment solution, featuring a first-of-its-kind secure APM checkout solution.
"Agentic payment is a foundational step in allowing AI agents to generate real value in our everyday life," said Gary Liu, general manager of Antom, Ant International. "The rise of agentic payment calls for rethinking how payment systems are designed."
Agentic payment solution
Antom's agentic payment solution facilitates flexible payments with a wide range of payment methods. It offers convenient checkout options through alternative payment methods (APMs) and cards, and with an AI-ready payment mandate model and enhanced payment asset management, it ensures precise recognition of user intent while maintaining secure and transparent transactions.
It leverages dialogue-based interactions with AI agents to cover confirmed purchase requests and conditional, pre-authorised transactions.
AI-powered APM checkout
Antom EasySafePay, a streamlined checkout solution for APMs, aims to simplify the payment process by allowing users to link their digital wallets directly to the checkout page, eliminating the need for redirection to external apps and ensuring a seamless and comfortable experience.
Antom's agentic payment solution features Multi-Party Computation (MPC)-based AI risk management and mobile device security systems, ensuring the security and privacy of the user.
Complying with the PCI Security Standards Council, the solution can manage payment assets through cryptographic measures and build an AI-ready user intent analysis and authorisation model for each transaction.
Antom is among the first partners to work with Mastercard via Mastercard Agent Pay and Visa via Visa Intelligent Commerce in the Asia Pacific to explore tokenised card-based agentic payments.
