BEIJING, June 3, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- 360 Finance, Inc.
(NASDAQ: QFIN) ("360 Finance" or the "Company"), a leading digital
consumer finance platform, today announced that its mobile
application "360 Jietiao" was among the first batch of financial
services apps from 33 companies to complete registration and file
records with the National Internet Finance Association of
China ("NIFA"), the national
self-regulatory body for China's
internet finance industry backed by People's Bank of China (PBOC).
360 Finance was one of the first companies to submit
registration documents and receive a "FinTech Product
Certification", a key credential needed for app registrations
launched by the PBOC, as Chinese regulators tighten scrutiny of
mobile apps operated by financial institutions amid growing public
concern over personal data collection.
As a financial services app with an extensive user base, 360
Jietiao capitalizes on the expertise gained through Qihoo 360's
decades of technology development in the internet security sector.
360 Finance has established a strict code of conduct within its
privacy policy to protect systems against data theft. The Company
has adopted an AI-driven protocol that effectively safeguards
personal information from any human intervention.
Mr. Haisheng Wu, Chief Executive
Officer and Director of 360 Finance, commented, "Regulators are
cracking down in order to further protect consumers and have put in
place a series of rules to strengthen personal data protection. As
a company with strong cyber security capabilities in our DNA, 360
Finance places a high priority on providing robust data privacy
protections and will never collect data without users' consent. We
have a strict code of conduct that guides our business operations
and employee behaviors and we have a technology-driven
infrastructure in place that secures our systems. We will spare no
effort in safeguarding personal information."
PBOC issued the notice on the promulgation of financial industry
standards and the enhancement of mobile app security in
September 2019, and designated NIFA
to carry out the registration process. NIFA has required
traditional financial institutions and fintech companies to submit
self-inspection reports on their financial services apps and
approved a list of apps which are in full compliance with the law.
Industrial and Commercial Bank of China, China Construction Bank and Ant
Financial are also among the first companies to complete the
registration and receive a certification.
