[DOKU](https://www.doku.com/?ref=southeastasiaconnect.com), an Indonesian payments provider, plans to connect its local payment methods and merchant relationships more closely with [Antom](https://www.antom.com/?ref=southeastasiaconnect.com)’s acquiring network and 2C2P’s regional gateway work. Antom, Ant International’s merchant-payment business, has deepened its strategic investment as co-founder Himelda Renuat becomes DOKU chief executive and Head of Antom Indonesia. Announced on 24 September, the changes are intended to serve Indonesian merchants expanding across Southeast Asia and international merchants entering Indonesia. The announcement gave no launch date for new services.

Renuat, previously DOKU’s chief marketing officer, will lead the company and oversee Antom’s business in Indonesia. She succeeds Chris Yeo, who had led DOKU since 2022 and is moving to the role of Head of Antom Philippines.

The company is adopting the “DOKU by Antom” brand while continuing to operate under its own name and licences. It describes the move as a further step in the strategic partnership announced in February 2026\. The amount of the additional investment was not disclosed.

The companies identify three areas for closer collaboration. First, DOKU will connect its Indonesian payment methods and merchant relationships more closely with Antom’s global acquiring network and Ant International’s wider product ecosystem, including the Alipay+ wallet gateway.

Second, DOKU will expand work with 2C2P, Antom’s regional payment-gateway subsidiary. The stated aim is to serve Indonesian merchants expanding across Southeast Asia and international merchants entering Indonesia, combining local payment capabilities with regional reach.

Third, DOKU plans further work on multi-currency services and cross-border processing, while exploring lending and treasury-management tools for merchants. The announcement sets out these development priorities without announcing availability dates for the proposed services.

Its roadmap toward 2027 also includes strengthening relationships with existing merchants, entering additional industries and payment channels, and helping more Indonesian businesses transact across borders.

DOKU says it will continue investing in product reliability, developer integration and round-the-clock merchant support as the collaboration develops. Those are the company’s service priorities, rather than reported changes in settlement speed or merchant performance.

Renuat described the next phase as extending DOKU’s reach while retaining its existing merchant relationships. Antom chief executive Gary Liu linked the changes to the previously announced partnership, while 2C2P chief executive Worachat Luxkanalode highlighted the combination of regional gateway services with DOKU’s Indonesian capabilities.
