SHANGHAI-(BUSINESS WIRE)-In the three months since introducing a game-changing campaign to provide creditworthy Chinese borrowers with access to loans, China Rapid Finance today announced that the marketplace lending leader provided more than 1.1 million loans over its mobile platform as of April 30, 2015.
“We are confident that our operationally efficient, tech-enabled channel will help the company capture growth by accessing an expanded array of sophisticated investors.”
“In the last three months, our platform facilitated more loans to Chinese consumers than we estimate to have been made by all Chinese peer to peer lenders combined during the same time period,” said China Rapid Finance Founder and CEO, Zane Wang, PhD.
Earlier this year, China Rapid Finance teamed with Tencent to prescreen millions of Tenpay customers, using China Rapid Finance’s superior credit assessment engine. That engine, which has been refined over nearly a decade and a half of operations, combines underwriting software and algorithms with correlated statistical analysis to evaluate accurately the creditworthiness of borrowers. Based upon those pre-screens, in February the company launched a mobile-based pre-approved borrower acquisition campaign over Tencent’s QQ social platform.
“With more than 1.1 million loans made in three months, it is clear that our mobile loan product is extremely popular. Moreover, we have reduced significantly our borrower acquisition costs and steadily outperformed our loan-loss predictions,” Wang continued.
Also in April, China Rapid Finance joined the Orchard Originator Database, a first-of-its-kind source for comprehensive information on leading loan originators. Orchard’s database allows institutional investors to filter and search by multiple criteria, making it easier for them to find and fund opportunities. By joining the Originator Database, China Rapid Finance will be among the first Chinese marketplace lenders to diversify its lending capital base to include international investors.
“We are thrilled to include international leaders like China Rapid Finance on our platform,” said Matt Burton, CEO, Orchard. “We are confident that our operationally efficient, tech-enabled channel will help the company capture growth by accessing an expanded array of sophisticated investors.”
Wang noted, “China Rapid Finance is helping China to build an Inclusive Financial Sector. We are very excited to have assisted so many creditworthy Chinese consumers achieve their financial goals and are committed to helping millions more achieve the China dream.”
