It is also part of Ant Group’s efforts to augment digital bank operations across South-east Asia following successful operations in China.

In this connection, Ant Group reportedly plans to provide its cross-border payment service Alipay+ to help four Asian e-wallets expand into South Korea.

The group also launched Alipay+ D-store to let businesses create digital stores across platforms such as Chope, AlipayHK and Touch ‘n Go.

 Ant, in December 2020, reportedly secured the wholesale digital banking licence that allows it to cater to small businesses and non-retail units.
