Ant Bank (Hong Kong), the digital banking arm of Ant International, has received a $100 million capital infusion from its parent company as it seeks to scale up its services and broaden its role in Hong Kong’s digital financial ecosystem.
The funding, according to an announcement, will support Ant Bank’s efforts to enhance product innovation, deepen partner collaborations, and deliver more flexible financial solutions to customers.
The move aligns with Hong Kong’s “FinTech 2025” strategy and Smart City Blueprint, which promote the use of artificial intelligence and big data to improve service efficiency, financial accessibility, and technological innovation within the sector.
Ant Bank has introduced a range of inclusive financial products leveraging Ant International’s technology capabilities.
These include the eM+ High Yield Account, “Ant Bank PayLater” for buy-now-pay-later services, low-interest personal revolving loans, and investment products with entry points starting at just HK$1.
The product suite is integrated with AlipayHK, positioning Ant Bank as the only digital bank in Hong Kong to maintain deep integration with an e-wallet platform, offering a seamless experience across financial services and daily life transactions.
The bank is also launching a promotional campaign from April 22 to May 30, offering an annual interest rate of up to 4.3% on eM+ deposits for new investment account holders and existing eM+ account users.
Ant Bank continues to prioritize security and regulatory compliance under the oversight of the Hong Kong Monetary Authority.
It employs advanced security technologies, including anti-deepfake identity verification, intelligent risk control systems, real-time transaction monitoring, and regular security assessments to ensure customer protection.
The fresh capital injection underscores Ant International’s long-term commitment to Hong Kong’s financial sector and its confidence in the city’s role as a global fintech hub.
Ant International operates four core businesses globally—Alipay+, Antom, WorldFirst, and Embedded Finance—providing digital payment solutions and financial services across 66 countries and regions.
