Ant International teams up with EPL club Tottenham Hotspur in global expansion drive


Singapore-based Ant International, through digital payment solutions provider Alipay+ and merchant payment processing service Antom, will serve as Tottenham Hotspur’s exclusive global payments provider and digital wallet partner, the company announced on Thursday.

Payment systems at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in north London will be supported by Ant International, while the club’s fans around the world can buy the team’s merchandise using the various local partner wallets of Alipay+. In addition, Alipay+ will serve as the first-ever official trainingwear sleeve partner for the club’s men’s and women’s teams.

“Ant Group has a long-standing passion for sports, particularly football, and many of our London office employees are dedicated Spurs fans,” Aaron Wang, vice-president of strategic partnerships at Ant International, told the South China Morning Post in an interview on Thursday.
