Galaxy Macau, Ant Bank launch fintech station

Galaxy Macau and Ant Bank (Macao) opened a financial services station Friday, bringing banking facilities and digital finance tools to the integrated resort. The station, located at Galaxy Macau’s Taste of Asia, offers self-service banking, financial consultations and interactive displays.

In a press release Friday, the partners said the initiative is the first jointly developed financial services station between a Macau integrated resort and Ant Bank (Macao). Services include cash deposits and withdrawals and mCard top-ups.

The station will also support the upcoming Galaxy membership program, which is intended to connect financial services with visitor spending and customer rewards.

Paul Tse, director of marketing and event services at Galaxy Entertainment Group, said, “Travel has evolved into a connected ecosystem spanning payments, memberships, consumption and lifestyle services. This collaboration brings innovative digital financial solutions to Galaxy Macau, delivering a smarter and more seamless experience for our guests while further advancing the integration of tourism, consumption and technology.”

Huo Lei, general manager of the business development division at Ant Bank (Macao), said the partnership would help embed financial services within tourism and consumer settings while supporting local merchants.

“Drawing on the diverse consumer ecosystem of Galaxy Macau and Ant Bank (Macao)’s digital technology capabilities, we aim to further embed financial services into tourist and consumer environments so that users can enjoy even more convenient and inclusive digital financial services. At the same time, this will also support merchants in expanding their customer reach and help bring greater dynamism to their businesses,” Huo said. NS
