Three Key Challenges in SME Financing

1

Policy Information Gaps

With so many inclusive finance programs, tax incentives and subsidies available, business owners struggle to find and understand relevant policies in time.

2

Complex Application Requirements

From business plans and financial statements to guarantees and collateral, financing requires specialist expertise that many businesses lack in-house.

3

Lengthy Approval Cycles

Traditional financing involves complex processes and long waits from application to disbursement, often causing businesses to miss the right funding window.

Risk Management and Compliance

Key considerations for risk management and compliance.

Risk 1

Compliant Messaging

Financial marketing content must meet all regulatory requirements

Mitigation Strategy
  • Careful wording: avoid absolute claims such as “principal guaranteed” or “risk-free”
  • Rate disclosure: clearly state the annualized interest rate and total cost of borrowing
  • Compliance review: all marketing content must pass a three-stage approval process
Risk 2

Allowlist Management

Business eligibility checks and anti-money laundering KYC

Mitigation Strategy
  • Allowlist admission: businesses may join only after passing eligibility checks
  • KYC verification: real-name authentication and cross-checks of business information
  • Ongoing monitoring: real-time alerts for unusual transactions

Important Notice:

1. All financing products offered through this service require a risk assessment based on each business’s circumstances to ensure suitability.

2. Financing carries costs, and credit decisions should be made with care. Final rates are subject to bank approval.

3. All marketing content must be approved by the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China’s compliance department before publication.

4. Business information is kept strictly confidential in accordance with the Anti-Money Laundering Law, the Personal Information Protection Law and other applicable laws and regulations.
