Ant International has started to deploy AI in order to streamline and protect cross-border transactions for multiple SMEs around the world. Following this announcement, the process of intensifying its integration of AI technologies will enable Ant International to optimise and secure cross-border transactions for merchants across over 200 global markets.

According to company officials, integrating AI into the processing of cross-border payments represents an important step to further strengthening worldwide trade and commerce, especially for SMEs that couldn’t afford real-time global settlement tools up until now. By deploying AI in merchant solutions, improving fraud detection, and preventing new scamming schemes, the company aims to increase operational efficiency and protect its customers.
