Antom, AirAsia MOVE, Ant International, 2C2P, payment orchestration, Capital A, FinTech, AsiaBooking.com and Antom, a merchant payment and digitisation services provider under Ant International, have announced a partnership that will enhance the payment experience for Booking.com customers by integrating diverse payment options across key markets in Asia.

This partnership will enable Booking.com to deliver a more tailored customer experience while unlocking business opportunities across China’s Hong Kong SAR, Indonesia, Japan, Malaysia, Singapore, South Korea, Thailand, and the Philippines markets. Antom helps global merchants like Booking.com navigate this complexity by leveraging its extensive payment channel partnerships and deep knowledge of local payment landscapes.

Through Booking.com’s partnership with Antom, the digital travel platform will make over 40 payment options available over time, including online banking, bank transfers, digital wallets and local card payments.

By integrating Antom’s multi-currency offerings and cross-border settlement capabilities, Booking.com is empowering its global accommodation providers to expand user reach and optimise payment acceptance and reconciliation across diverse markets. This collaboration will especially benefit smaller properties and holiday rentals that may lack access to traditional payment infrastructures, enabling them to compete more effectively in the global marketplace.

Daniel Marovitz, Senior Vice President of FinTech at Booking.com, commented, “Partnering with Antom allows us to streamline and enhance the payment experience for our travellers across the Asia-Pacific, integrating a wider range of local payment options that align with regional preferences. This collaboration reflects our commitment to delivering a seamless travel experience from booking to checkout. We look forward to working with Antom to support local businesses and continue advancing a more connected, innovative payment ecosystem for travel.”

“We’re excited to partner with Booking.com to expand payment options, broaden customer reach across diverse markets, and support the platform in better serving the unique needs of each region,” said Gary Liu, General Manager of Antom, Ant International. “This partnership reflects our commitment to making payments more efficient and enabling merchants to unlock new growth opportunities in today’s dynamic landscape.”
