TREE NEWS update: The National Internet Finance Association of China issued a self-regulatory notice naming eight lending apps for violating financial product marketing rules by using the phrase “low threshold.” The apps are Yaoxianghua, Youdao Fenqi, Xiaoxiang Qianbao, Tianxia Fenqi, Rongshu Jietiao, Zhongan Dai, Tongtong Fenqi and 58 Haojie. The association acted under Article 31 of its measures, which require it to monitor online marketing of financial products and refer problem leads to regulators.
China Internet Finance Association Flags 8 Apps for Misleading ‘Low Threshold’ Marketing
AI take
The naming of specific apps signals that self-regulatory scrutiny of consumer lending marketing is becoming more granular, with language itself now a compliance issue. The eight platforms face reputational and potential regulatory follow-up, but the broader effect is a tightening of how online lenders can advertise to retail borrowers. Whether this notice is followed by formal regulator action, and whether other apps adjust their marketing language pre-emptively, is the open question.
