Partnerships

Ant Group integrates with over 100 Chinese commercial banks for Credit-Tech, shifting by 2025 to a model where banks supply ≥90% of loan capital while Ant provides tech and underwriting; these alliances support liquidity and help meet Financial Holding Company capital adequacy-Ant reported facilitating RMB ~1.2 trillion in bank-backed loans in FY2025.
Despite managerial separation, Ant Group relies on a service agreement with Alibaba Cloud to handle peak loads exceeding 600,000 transactions per second during events like the 11.11 Global Shopping Festival, supporting Ant's 2025 payments volume that processed trillions RMB annually.
In 2025 the partnership expanded to jointly develop financial-sector large language models, allocating shared R&D budgets and leveraging Alibaba Cloud's 2025 global revenue growth and AI infrastructure to optimize risk models and customer service automation for Ant.
