Ant International has moved its Agentic Mobile Protocol into its first phase of real-world deployment, bringing ten major digital wallets across Asia onto a shared framework that lets AI agents make authorised payments on users’ behalf. The rollout covers wallets serving roughly 1.5 billion user accounts combined, including several used daily across Southeast Asia.
Key Facts At A Glance
- Ant International’s Agentic Mobile Protocol (AMP) was launched in April 2026 and is now entering its first phase of wallet integration.
- Ten Alipay+ partner wallets are participating: Alipay, AlipayHK, DANA, GCash, KakaoPay, MPay, TNG eWallet, TrueMoney, Toss, and Starryblu.
- The participating wallets collectively serve approximately 1.5 billion user accounts.
- Seven payment acquirers have joined as partners: Adyen, Allinpay, Checkout.com, Fiserv, Global Payments, Nuvei, and Worldline.
- Ant International has open-sourced AMP’s code, developer kits, and technical documentation on GitHub.
- Ant International, Mastercard, and Visa have begun a separate collaboration on a Know-Your-Agent (KYA) interoperability framework.
Ant International’s Agentic Mobile Protocol is designed to let AI agents step into existing mobile payment systems as authorised, trusted actors rather than requiring users to hand over full account access. Under the framework, a user authorises an agent to complete a specific, bounded task, and the agent then executes the payment within those limits through the wallet’s own infrastructure. The design is meant to let transactions happen inside a super app or connected smart device without forcing the user to switch applications or change how they normally pay.
Regional Reach Through Alipay+ Wallets
The first phase draws on Ant International’s existing Alipay+ network of wallet partners. GCash in the Philippines, TNG eWallet in Malaysia, DANA in Indonesia, and TrueMoney in Thailand are among the participants, alongside Alipay and AlipayHK in China and Hong Kong, KakaoPay and Toss in South Korea, MPay in Macao, and Singapore-based Starryblu. Each wallet is set to support AMP within its own agent security architecture, meaning the underlying risk controls and authorisation checks remain specific to each platform even as they adopt a shared protocol. On the acquiring side, seven payment processors, including Adyen, Checkout.com, Fiserv, and Worldline, have signed on to support agent-initiated transactions on the merchant end.
To broaden adoption beyond its existing partner network, Ant International has published AMP’s source code, developer kits, and technical documentation publicly on GitHub, allowing other payment providers, financial institutions, and AI platforms to build and test their own integrations.
Building Trust Infrastructure For Agent Transactions
Separately from the wallet rollout, Ant International has begun working with Mastercard and Visa on a Know-Your-Agent (KYA) interoperability framework. The initiative is intended to help card networks, wallet ecosystems, and AI agent platforms share common principles for onboarding and identifying agents across different networks, while letting each party retain its own verification and decision-making processes. The effort reflects a broader industry push to establish shared trust and governance standards as agentic commerce moves from pilot projects into live deployment across major payment rails.
