Based on public documents, the bank filed a prospectus at the Shanghai Clearing House on August 13, claiming that it would support securities with a portfolio of receivables from various corporations.

According to the report of the China Securities Journal, the bank ended its broadcast on 17 August, becoming one of the first institutions in the country that made such an issue in the Blockchain network.

The Blockchain platform, called Lianrong, was developed by the bank to enable registered companies to broadcast assets to potential investors and enable them to settle invoice transactions as securities in peer-to-peer mode. By purchasing receivables from the company's account, the investor generally pays for the overdue invoice of the company at a discount and expects to receive the full amount from the side responsible for making the original payment later.
