Advance Intelligence Group, also known as 领创集团, is an Asia-Pacific technology company founded in 2016 that builds an AI-powered, credit-based market ecosystem serving enterprises, consumers, and merchants . The group operates three main businesses: Atome, a leading buy-now-pay-later platform in Asia; ADVANCE.AI, a SaaS big data analytics and enterprise solutions provider; and Ginee, an omnichannel e-commerce services platform .

The company is headquartered in Singapore and has expanded across 12 markets in South Asia, Southeast Asia, Greater China, and Latin America . By late 2021 it had reached a valuation exceeding $2 billion following a $400 million-plus Series D led by SoftBank Vision Fund 2 and Warburg Pincus, with Gaorong Ventures — which had led its 2019 Series C — participating as a follow-on investor . As of that period, the group employed 1,500 staff and served over 800 enterprise clients, 100,000 merchants, and 20 million consumers .

More recently, the group has continued to emphasize AI-driven financial and retail infrastructure. In 2025, ADVANCE.AI co-founder and chairman Shou Dong spoke on Southeast Asia market strategy and released the company's first identity fraud report, while also showcasing deepfake anti-fraud technology . That same year, both Advance Intelligence Group and ADVANCE.AI received "Dingge Awards" from Harvard Business Review for GenAI implementation and digital identity verification excellence respectively, with Shou Dong named an enterprise digitalization leader of the year .
