Jianpu Technology Inc., a leading independent open platform for discovery and recommendation of financial products in China, is pleased to announce that it recently won the prestigious 2021 Top 10 Fintech Innovation Award (the “Award”). The Award, bestowed by “The Chinese Banker” recognizes Jianpu’s excellence in enabling the digitization of financial institutions.
As one of the most influential acknowledgements within China’s financial industry, the Award (in its 14th edition) is widely respected by the fintech industry, regulators and financial institutions. Winning the Award alongside banks such as WeBank, Pingan Bank and China Everbright Bank is a validation of Jianpu’s achievements and contributions in financial industry innovation. Jianpu remains committed to innovation-led growth, embracing artificial intelligence, data science, analytics, cloud computing, machine learning and other technologies to explore and seek breakthroughs across financial product categories and geographies.
As China’s largest independent credit card application online platform, the Company has facilitated the cumulative issuance of over 20 million credit cards. In addition to traditional content-driven traffic, the Company leverages social media to promote its platform via an initiative called Social Media and Partner Program (the “Program”). Launched in 2018, the Program has been highly effective in user acquisition and engagement, resulting in approximately two thirds of credit card application volume via this channel. Jianpu will continue to leverage the Program to expand into other financial product categories and new business verticals.
In diversifying the financial products offered on its platform, Jianpu has also entered into the insurance brokerage sector. With the mission and vision of “Making Insurance More Accessible via Technology”, the Company has developed a solution for individual brokers that enables intelligent deal management, insurance product matching and streamlined transaction processes.
Jianpu has also expanded its footprint into Southeast Asia markets by applying and adapting its successful formula and pioneering business models. Winning the trust and support from local regulators and partners, the Company has secured several important permits and registrations in the fintech sector, including financial product aggregator, credit scoring and transaction authentication. Going forward, Jianpu will continue to drive inclusive financial services overseas to benefit more populations around the world.
