Issued by Ernst & Young (EY), a leading independent auditing firm, the SOC 2 Type II certification is a rigorous assessment for operating effectiveness of a service provider’s internal controls. It evaluates compliance across five trust principles: Security (protection against unauthorised access), Availability (service reliability and uptime), Processing Integrity (accurate and complete data handling), Confidentiality (encryption of sensitive information), and Privacy (compliant personal data processing).
While many companies choose to certify select principles, Antom has achieved full compliance across all five criteria for its payment processing service, further making it stands out as an industry leader in secure, AI-driven payment technology. The audit firm will conduct annual reviews, and Antom will continue its recertification process.

By harnessing technology, we are not only simplifying transactions but also fostering a more inclusive commerce ecosystem,” said Gary Liu, General Manager of Antom, Ant International. “With a focus on innovation, security, and seamless payment experiences, Antom continues to help businesses of all sizes thrive in an evolving digital economy.”
