AirAsia MOVE Partners with Antom and 2C2P to Revolutionize Payment Solutions Across Southeast Asia

​AirAsia MOVE, the Southeast Asian travel booking platform under Capital A, has recently entered into a strategic partnership with Antom, a payment solutions provider under Ant International, alongside 2C2P, a leading global payments platform. This collaboration aims to overhaul the payment infrastructure of AirAsia MOVE, enabling it to offer seamless, cost-effective payment solutions to its growing customer base in Southeast Asia and beyond.

The partnership will integrate Antom’s advanced payment technologies and 2C2P’s global payment orchestration services into AirAsia MOVE’s platform. This integration is designed to streamline payment processes, particularly for cross-border transactions, while also broadening the range of payment options available to consumers. Through the collaboration, AirAsia MOVE will be able to offer both card-based and local payment methods (LPMs), significantly reducing transaction costs and enhancing the platform’s operational efficiency.

Tony Fernandes, CEO of Capital A, expressed his enthusiasm for the partnership, highlighting that the collaboration is a key step in advancing the capabilities of the entire Capital A ecosystem. Fernandes noted that AirAsia MOVE stands to benefit from improved payment solutions, which will also contribute to the growth of other Capital A platforms. By integrating these cutting-edge payment technologies, AirAsia MOVE is positioning itself as a more flexible and customer-centric platform, poised to meet the growing demand for online and mobile travel services.

Nadia Omer, CEO of AirAsia MOVE, underscored the significance of the partnership in enhancing customer satisfaction and operational efficiency. According to Omer, the integration of Antom and 2C2P’s solutions will allow the platform to offer better value to customers by improving transaction speeds, reducing operational overheads, and ensuring a smoother booking experience. This move is also aligned with AirAsia MOVE’s broader vision of creating seamless travel experiences by simplifying cross-border payments and providing customers with greater payment flexibility.

Gary Liu, General Manager of Antom, expressed his pride in deepening the partnership with AirAsia MOVE. Liu emphasized that Antom’s advanced solutions, including payment orchestration and acquiring for both cards and local payment methods, will empower AirAsia MOVE to expand its reach and tap into new consumer segments across the Asia-Pacific region. Liu also pointed out that Antom’s AI-driven technologies will help optimize operational efficiency, enhance security, and provide better risk management for AirAsia MOVE’s customers.

The partnership between AirAsia MOVE, Antom, and 2C2P builds on the strategic collaboration announced earlier between Capital A and Ant International, which aims to explore new payment integration opportunities and provide acquiring services across various Capital A platforms. This multi-faceted partnership also includes plans to leverage digital marketing, sponsorships, and sustainable finance initiatives for the Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprise (MSME) sector.

Antom’s payment network spans more than 40 countries, enabling businesses to integrate hundreds of payment methods and support transactions in over 100 currencies. Its unified API gives businesses seamless access to global payment options, including credit cards, e-wallets, and local payment methods. In addition, Antom’s AI-powered tools are designed to help businesses reduce costs, enhance transaction security, and manage foreign exchange risks. Similarly, 2C2P, which operates across Southeast Asia and Hong Kong, provides a comprehensive range of payment methods, offering businesses an integrated solution for both online and offline payments.

With this partnership, AirAsia MOVE is set to further solidify its position as a leader in the travel sector while enhancing the payment experience for millions of customers. By leveraging Antom and 2C2P’s cutting-edge technologies, the platform is on track to deliver more efficient, flexible, and cost-effective payment solutions across the region, setting a new standard for the travel industry.
