[24% Interest Rate Red Line Locks in Profits, End of ‘Matryoshka-Style’ Customer Acquisition Model]

Published: Jul 13, 2026 09:36
Recently, several industry insiders revealed that multiple regions have issued window guidance for local small and medium-sized banks and licensed consumer finance companies, setting explicit quantitative indicators for the growth rate of loan volumes through lending assistance channels and business boundaries, while reiterating that the proportion of financing guarantee businesses must not exceed 25%. This move aims to push licensed institutions to return to self-operated businesses, solidify their independent risk control responsibilities, and reduce reliance on external platforms. This orientation continues the policy trajectory marked by intensive regulatory measures rolled out by financial authorities since 2025.
