Under the current epidemic situation, China's Internet finance has achieved unprecedented rapid development and wide application. As the world's leading Internet open platform under Alibaba, Ant Financial is a typical representative of China's Internet finance industry. The sudden epidemic has continued to this day, which has had a huge impact on the Internet consumer finance industry. In response to this phenomenon, I conducted a SWOT analysis of Ant Financial in the context of the normalization of the epidemic, and gained a new understanding of its strength, weakness, opportunities and threats. Combined with my analysis, I hope to draw effective suggestions for the development of Ant Finance or China's Internet finance industry in the post-epidemic era.
