# ANEXT Bank: AI strategy

Source: https://www.bankingnewsai.com/fintech/anext-bank
Last updated: Oct 24, 2026

*Borrowed brain: an SME-only digital bank that plugs into Ant International's AI credit, risk and eKYC stack and distributes loans through partner platforms rather than building visible AI products of its own.*

## How is ANEXT using AI?

ANEXT Bank, Ant International's Singapore digital wholesale bank for small businesses, uses AI chiefly through its parent: Ant's AI-powered Credit Tech and Risk Tech, which added the bettr credit service to ANEXT in 2024, plus Ant-built eKYC for remote onboarding and lending inside the AI-powered EPOS360 merchant app. ANEXT publishes no model metrics. Its 2025 accounts show the cost: a S$49.8 million loss as loans fell to S$636 million and deposits rose to S$1.15 billion. Kai Qiu, its former CTO, is CEO.

## Flagship platform: Ant International Credit Tech and Risk Tech (bettr), eKYC and EPOS360 copilot

Ant International says it used its AI-powered Credit Tech and Risk Tech capabilities in 2024 to add a credit service branded bettr to ANEXT Bank. ANEXT onboards customers remotely with a proprietary eKYC tool from Ant International, and its tech stack includes modular APIs, KYB engines and biometric eKYC. From 2026 its accounts and collateral-free loans are offered inside Antom's AI-powered EPOS360 merchant app with a built-in copilot. Former CEO Toh Su Mei said in 2025 the bank uses 'AI and data' from digital credit to risk management; no model metrics are published.

## Regulators it answers to

- [MAS](https://www.bankingnewsai.com/ai-regulation/mas) — ANEXT holds a MAS digital wholesale bank licence; its credit models, eKYC and any copilot-based services fall under MAS's AI risk-management guidelines, which let a group-owned FI rely on regional or group governance only if it can show oversight of Singapore risks. See [MAS Guidelines on Artificial Intelligence Risk Management](https://www.bankingnewsai.com/ai-regulation/documents/mas-guidelines-ai-risk-management-2026), [MAS AI Model Risk Management information paper](https://www.bankingnewsai.com/ai-regulation/documents/mas-info-paper-ai-model-risk-management-2024), [MAS FEAT Principles](https://www.bankingnewsai.com/ai-regulation/documents/mas-feat-principles-2018).
- Personal Data Protection Commission (Singapore) — ANEXT's biometric eKYC, facial verification on every transaction and partner-platform data used for embedded lending involve personal data of business owners governed by Singapore's PDPA.

## What the record suggests

### The AI is the parent's, and so is much of the risk

bettr, the eKYC tool and the EPOS360 copilot are all Ant International products; ANEXT has disclosed no model, metric or AI governance structure of its own.

### Loans shrank while credit costs rose

Loans fell 25% to S$636 million in 2025 as impairment losses climbed to S$38.1 million, so whatever AI underwriting the bank uses has not yet produced a profitable book.

### Distribution through platforms is the strategy

From the 2022 industry programme to EPOS360, ANEXT reaches borrowers inside partner software, which makes partner data quality and onboarding controls central to its credit decisions.

### A technologist now runs the bank

The move from founding CEO Toh Su Mei to former CTO Kai Qiu in 2025 put the person who built the API and onboarding stack in charge.

### Heavily capitalised, deposit-rich

A 67.5% CET1 ratio and deposits well above loans leave room to lend; the constraint shown in the accounts is credit quality, not capital.

## FAQ

### How does ANEXT Bank use AI?

Mostly through parent Ant International. Ant says it used AI-powered Credit Tech and Risk Tech to add the bettr credit service to ANEXT in 2024; ANEXT onboards customers with an Ant-built eKYC tool, and its loans are embedded in Antom's AI-powered EPOS360 merchant app. ANEXT publishes no AI metrics; its 2025 accounts show a S$49.8 million loss and S$636 million of loans.

### Is ANEXT Bank a real bank?

Yes. ANEXT Bank Pte. Ltd. is a digital wholesale bank licensed by the Monetary Authority of Singapore, which approved it to commence business on June 2, 2022. Under MAS's framework a digital wholesale bank may take deposits from and serve SMEs and other non-retail customers, but not individual retail customers. It held S$1.15 billion of customer deposits at end-2025.

### Who owns ANEXT Bank?

ANEXT is a wholly owned subsidiary of Ant International, the Singapore-headquartered international arm affiliated with Ant Group; its 2022 launch materials named Ant Group as owner. Fintech Futures reported in March 2024 that total investment from its parent exceeded $500 million, and share capital stood at S$675 million at end-2025.

### Is ANEXT Bank profitable?

No. Its audited 2025 accounts show a S$49.8 million loss, up from S$37.2 million in 2024, as impairment losses rose to S$38.1 million and loans fell to S$636 million from S$847 million. Deposits grew to S$1.15 billion, and its CET1 capital ratio was 67.5%.

### Who is the CEO of ANEXT Bank?

Kai Qiu, previously ANEXT's deputy CEO and chief technology officer. He was named CEO-designate in January 2025, and founding CEO Toh Su Mei stepped down effective March 31, 2025 to become an honorary advisor to Ant International. Ant International lists Qiu as CEO of ANEXT Bank; as CTO he launched the bank's API repository in 2023.

### What is ANEXT CreditNow?

CreditNow is ANEXT's revolving business credit line of up to S$300,000 with no documents required, available to Singapore-incorporated businesses with at least six months of activity with the bank, with tenures up to 12 months. ANEXT does not disclose how its credit assessment works; separately, Ant International says its AI Credit Tech powers the bettr credit service at ANEXT.
