China's consumer finance expected to be a market without ceiling

China's consumer finance expected to be a market without ceiling

Some 800 million Chinese constitute the potential consumer finance market. Of them, about 500 million do not have any credit information in traditional banking organizations, said analysts.

"This means, it is difficult for them to apply for credit cards or borrow money from traditional banks," said Liu Yannan, chief executive officer of Beijing Tiandao Jiran Technology Co Ltd, which, in 2015, launched an app offering loans to buyers of used cars and consumer electronics.

"It is very difficult for traditional banks to offer small loans to consumers without any credit record. The cost and risk would be very high compared with offering loans to big-name enterprises.

"But through big data technology, it is easy for Internet firms to find out who can be good debtors, by analyzing their online footprints, such as their shopping records, occupation and educational backgroud of their friends on social networking apps," said Liu.

Xu of JD Finance agreed. The cost of finding a qualified borrower is next to zero for JD Finance thanks to parent JD.com's vast data on its online shoppers, he said. JD Finance, he said, has "profiled", or verified the creditworthiness of, 100 million shoppers on JD.com.

Even consumers who have credit cards appear to prefer online consumer finance due to its convenience and efficiency, said Min Jie, 30, who recently bought a new flat. He spent tens of thousands of yuan online in 2015, decorating it. After maxing out his credit card, he turned to Internet finance companies.

"Asking banks to raise my credit limit was proving to be time-consuming. You need to make phone calls first, then demonstrate your financial situation and wait for their approval. So I used JD's Baitiao service as an alternative. Based on my previous shopping record, they immediately granted me 10,000 yuan in credit," Min said.

Xiong Yuan, 27, a female white-collar worker in Beijing, took another route to easy finance. She did not really need the money but wanted to boost her online credit score. So, she logged into Ant Check Later, an Internet consumer finance product of Ant Financial Service Group, which is backed by Alibaba Group Holding Ltd.

Ant Financial's credit scores, ranging from 350 to 950, are based on analysis of consumers' online behavior. A score higher than 750 attracts VIP perks like travel to Singapore without visa application or priority check-in at some airports in China.

"By borrowing about 1,000 yuan every month via Ant Check Later, I made online purchases, but repaid the money in time over the last six months. So, my credit score has increased from 670 to 709 and nearing my goal of exceeding 750," Xiong said.

According to Ant Financial, its consumer finance service has significantly boosted the consumption of online shoppers. "Those who used to spend less than 1,000 yuan a month have increased their spending by 50 percent after using the service," the company said in an email to China Daily.

Consumer finance is clearly a priority for the government as well, given the thrust on economic growth through domestic consumption rather than exports.

In June 2015, the government expanded its pilot zone of consumer finance from 16 cities to the entire nation. Private companies, domestic and overseas banks, and Internet firms are all encouraged to set up consumer finance business.

Analysts said it is unlikely that regulators will restrict the development of the sector. Li Chao, an analyst with iResearch, said for the consumer finance market to blossom fully, service providers need to improve their risk management and create more "offline scenarios".

"There is still room for improvement in the accuracy and cost of risk control, given the market is still in its early stage. Consumer finance companies need to come up with more ideas to encourage people to use their services.

"Most of the small loans are made to online shoppers, those who are about to travel or buy cars. They need to think more creatively to create more opportunities for consumers to use the service," Li said.

Like in any lending business, bad debts are but natural. But, Internet finance firms, being mostly privately held startups, are not obliged to disclose the rate of bad debts. Industry insiders, however, estimated defaults could be around 1 percent of total loans.
