TOKYO -- 2C2P, a low-profile payments platform quietly serving Southeast Asia's most well known retailers and airlines, now counts China's Ant Group, developer of the superapp Alipay, as its largest shareholder.

Last week's purchase of a majority stake in 2C2P gives Ant access to 2C2P's large enterprise clients in Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand and Myanmar.
