Ant International: The number of companies serving Hong Kong and overseas increased by more than 70% year-on-year

The Zhitong Finance App learned that on November 4, Ding Yansong, general manager of the global business of WorldFirst (WorldFirst) under Ant International, revealed while attending the Hong Kong Fintech Week “Greater Bay Area Enterprise Innovation Tour” forum that Wanlihui has served more than 2 million global enterprises. Since joining the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Government's “Special Course for Mainland Enterprises Going Overseas” professional service platform in June this year, the number of enterprises serving overseas through Hong Kong has increased by more than 70% year-on-year, and the transaction volume has increased nearly 40%. Among the more than 2 million enterprises served by Wanlihui, the volume of cross-border transactions of small and medium-sized enterprises is increasing by about 50% every year, which is more than 10 times the growth rate of total global trade.

He explained that in order to promote more inclusive “re-globalization”, Ant International launched a global account service based on AI and blockchain technology, based on multi-currency accounts and scenario financial solutions, to provide a one-stop service covering payment, account management, treasury and credit to help global operations.

Ding Yansong pointed out that AI is turning enterprise-level financial capabilities into a tool that merchants of all sizes can use. In the future, we hope to deepen cooperation with institutions such as the Hong Kong Investment Promotion Department to embrace the critical moment of AI transformation in the global e-commerce and trading industry, so that large enterprises and small and medium-sized enterprises can be equipped with enterprise-level innovative solutions, fully automate operations, and benefit from the next round of global economic transformation.
