互联网金融 1：巨头之争硝烟起；中型银行面临边缘化风险（摘要）
中国互联网巨头挺进金融领域
在互联网巨头中阿里巴巴拥有最大潜力
中国互联网三巨头：阿里巴巴集团、百度和腾讯已经
利用它们庞大的客户基础和市场主导地位进入了线上
金融服务领域。由于它们的线上支付工具在获得零售
和中小企业客户及数据采集方面发挥了关键作用，我
们预计它们会瞄准线下金融业务，服务于消费者和中
国的中小企业，后者从中国传统金融企业获得资金的
成本往往很高。事实上，阿里巴巴集团和腾讯已经获
得了银行执照：它们与中国现有金融企业之间的竞技
场已经铺就。
在中国的互联网三巨头中，我们认为阿里巴巴在发展
金融业务方面比百度和腾讯更具优势，因为支付宝是
阿里巴巴获得客户和采取数据的工具、公司拥有强大
的电子商务生态系统、有能力处理大数据和进行风险
管理，同时还拥有广阔的金融平台。
互联网金融规模虽小但增长迅速
我们认同目前尚属互联网金融发展的早期阶段，而且
其规模置于中国银行系统背景之下显得较为有限。此
外，这些新晋竞争者在资本金、资金以及尽职调查等
问题上面临挑战。但是我们预计以下四大推动因素将
帮助互联网金融从低基数水平快速增长：电子/移动商
务、支付、客户和数据以及金融市场化。我们预计
2024 年互联网金融企业所发放的信贷规模为人民币
6.8 万亿元，在剔除债券/股票之后的总社会融资存量
中仍仅占 2%；但是互联网金融企业利润将增至 400 亿
美元（年均复合增长率为 41%），相当于我们估算
2024 年银行整体盈利的 8%。
互联网对于中国金融企业的威胁
在银行服务的七大元素中，中国互联网三巨头在其中四
个：即交易、支付、数据采集和监管方面较银行拥有越
发明显的优势。
银行仍在存款资金/资本金基础以及尽职调查和不良贷款
解决方案上拥有相对优势。
7 key elements for financial services
对于中国金融企业的影响
我们评估了中国现有金融企业将如何应对这一新兴威
胁，并将通过系列报告探讨这一现象，本文即是开篇
之作。我们的初步分析显示，平安集团、招商银行和
工商银行这三家大型金融企业将在这场保卫战中处于
最有利的地位，因为它们拥有强劲的 IT 能力而且注重
互联网金融发展战略。
而面临着最严峻边缘化风险的（尽管是就中长期而
言）是那些中型银行，比如交通银行、中信银行、浦
发银行、华夏银行和光大银行，因为它们的零售业务
实力相对薄弱，而且侧重于发展中小企业业务，我们
认为后者将是互联网巨头与金融巨头相争的下一主战
场。

Overview: Emergence of internet finance to reshape China’s lending markets
Internet finance in China has been developing rapidly over the past three years:
China’s three internet giants — Alibaba Group, Baidu, Tencent (which we dub “BAT”) — as well as JD.com have all been using their
success in e-commerce to build their online payment capabilities. They have all now begun to offer a wide range of financing capabilities:
consumer credit, SME loans, and small-scale wealth management tools such as Alibaba’s T+0 money market funds (MMFs) that links to
Alipay. (Note: Alibaba in this report refers to Alibaba Group and its affiliate Ant Financial Services Group.)
There are many new forms of internet finance emerging in China, such as:

Over 1,400 new peer to peer (P2P) lending firms that have been set up over the past three years to link directly between borrowers
and personal lenders for small ticket loans. P2P providers are typically internet service platforms to allow personal lenders to search
for borrowers on-line.

Crowd funding — that is, entrepreneurs post their projects or company descriptions to crowd funding websites in order to attract
broad investors;

Other kinds of internet finance business models such as third party payment for e-commerce/m-commerce, bank/financial products
search and price comparison websites, and web-based wealth management platforms, etc.
The move into financing by these internet players raises three key questions:

What is the growth potential of internet finance in China?

What are the potential threats to the traditional bricks and mortar banks, insurers, and brokers?

What might the impact be on China’s macro economy?
Germinating from our GS China Internet Finance Seminar, held in in Shenzhen in April, and developed in close collaboration with our internet
and macro teams, this report marks the first in a series we plan to publish on this new platform.
We believe internet financing has the potential to reshape the dynamics of China’s lending markets over time. We expect internet financing
business to grow rapidly in China off a low base and drive greater competition with banks in payments, and in consumer, and SME banking
areas. We expect internet finance players gradually to take some market share and wrestle some profitable consumer and SME banking
segments from banks.
We believe that, at least for the moment, they lack the funding, the capital and the requisite interpersonal relationships with customers (to
conduct due diligence) to take market share quickly. Over the longer-term, we think they may pose increasing long-term marginalization risk
for mid-cap banks that do not have strong franchises and IT/internet banking strategies.

Internet finance set to boom on four key drivers
We expect internet players will accelerate their development of payment, consumer credit and SME banking products. We forecast consumer
and SME loans/payment-related business of internet giants (essentially BAT and JD.com) could generate US$29bn/US$11bn net profits by
2024, or up to c. 6% /2% of total bank profits then, driven by four factors:
•
The rapid growth of e-commerce and mobile commerce activities in China, thanks to increasing penetration of mobile/internet
use, improving logistics for online shopping, and expansion by e-commerce giants and emerging new e-commerce providers in new
areas such as autos, health care, etc.
•
Internet companies’ financial innovation as a catalyst for financial service “deregulation”. The current tight regulation
around banks and insurers provides many growth opportunities for internet finance players to serve un-satisfied demand. For
instance, we think consumer banking (i.e. credit cards, high yield subprime consumer loans) and SME banking are under penetrated
in China, offering segments that internet finance players can serve.
The government is generally supportive of financial innovation, and has imposed few regulatory constraints on internet
finance providers so far. China’s government encourages financial innovation to serve SMEs and consumer banking, offering a
favorable regulatory environment. For instance, the banking regulators recently approved for Tencent and Alibaba Group to be the
major shareholders and sponsors of two new private banks. On the other hand traditional banks and insurers still face strict
regulations such as credit quota, the 75% loan/deposit ratio cap for housing loans and capital requirement that could hinder their
competitiveness and curtail their willingness to serve the consumer and SME segments.
•
Internet players have great incentive and capability to collect and analyze data related to transactions, behavior and payments to
enable them to improve risk management and promote targeted markets to potential users. In contrast, although banks have lots of
transaction data in credit and banking cards, we think they have not analyzed or utilized this data effectively to conduct targeted
marketing or detailed credit analysis.
•
Internet players’ relatively closed ecosystem allows them to include their own online payment business such as Alipay, Tenpay to
close the transaction loop to lock in customers and transaction data. In 2013, third party payment functions accounted for 76%
internet shopping transactions (with the remainder conducted via bank cards), vs. 15% in the US.
Online payment allow internet players to gather clients and data; moving offline
In the absence of Chinese banks’ ability to provide suitable solutions to satisfy online shoppers’ requirements for security, convenience and
trust, online payment tools, such as Alipay and Tenpay, were first developed to facilitate e-commerce transactions in 2004. Now, ten years
later, internet players’ payment services have come to dominate e-commerce and mobile-commerce transactions — with users numbering
over 900mn and 300mn, respectively, by early 2014.
With critical mass, Alipay and Tenpay are now developing off-line payment solutions. For example, Alipay has recently moved to enable
payment for restaurants, taxis, etc. We believe these off-line payment scenarios will be critical for BAT to further develop online-to-off-line
(O2O) business — allowing them to acquire off-line clients (including SMEs), compile transaction data, and create off-line relatively closed
ecosystem business models. This in turn should enable them to build a foundation to expand their consumer and SME banking.
In contrast, banks and China Unionpay (the banking card association) have traditionally been strong in off-line payment scenarios, and have
enjoyed high growth in these channels over the past decade (bankcard usage as a percentage of retail sales rose to 47% in 2013 from 5% in

2002). However, they have not developed comparative datamining capabilities to position them to effectively target new products at the right
customers.
We believe banks will need to increase investment and more focus their efforts to develop their banking card and new payment technologies.
Moves are underway, however. For example, Unionpay and many banks are pushing NFC mobile payment, likely using the iPhone 6 (as in
the US), and currently in conjunction with Xiaomi, Huawei and others. If executed well, this could provide a way for banks to defend their
traditional dominance of off-line payments. However, we believe NFC’s effectiveness remains to be established in China, as there is little
incentive for offline merchants to use NFC and it has not deeply penetrated consumers consciousness, even though NFC has many
advantages over the bar-code payment system employed by the internet giants. NFC as a system has greater speed and safety, as well as
offline merchant payment scenarios and regulatory support.
Consumer and SME banking the next battleground; huge but untested for internet players
Alibaba Group and JD.com already offer SME loans to their merchants and/or suppliers, as well as consumer loans to their clients for online
purchases. We expect BAT and JD will accelerate their efforts in offering consumer banking, credit cards and SME banking online, to
leverage their enormous retail and SME client base, their strong datamining capability (especially online transactions), and their established
e-commerce/m-commerce ecosystems.
We believe that compared with banks, BAT have increasing advantages in four of seven key banking services:

Transactions —capturing online economic transactions, and increasingly pushing into off-line transactions;

Payment — using online and off-line payment services to capture payment data

Data — using their ecosystem and big data technics to gather and analyze clients’ entity and identity data including locations, age,
family size, etc, as well as consumers’ multi-dimensional behavior data such as purchase behaviors, and transaction data.
Essentially they have the ability to analyze who their clients are, their online and off-line behavior, and what they shop for, and
whether they have ability and willingness to repay loans.

Regulatory advantages — so far internet players are subject to limited regulation regarding their financial innovations, whereas
banks face still strict regulations for loan quotas, L/D ratios, and capital and anti-money laundering requirements.
However, banks retain their traditional strengths: cheap deposit funding, on-site due diligence based on personal contacts, their broad
physical network which is critical for risk assessment of more complicated and larger transactions such as mortgage and SME loans, and
enormous capital positions to support the business.
In light of these fundamentals, we believe internet players’ consumer and SME banking will grow very rapidly off a low base, but it will take
many years for internet players to wrangle significant market shares from traditional financial service players — predominantly due to their
comparatively limited capital and funding. We forecast internet finance total credit growth (incl. P2P) to reach Rmb8.8tn annually in
2024E, equivalent to 2.8% of TSF (total social financing; excl. bonds and equities), as banks also grow their loan balances.

Alibaba leads in internet finance among peers
We have analyzed the key strengths, weakness and strategies of the three internet giants’ internet finance business, and believe:

Alibaba is the leading player, given its strong e-commerce franchise and closed ecosystem, Alipay’s pre-eminent position in online
payment, strong data mining and risk management capability, strong product development capabilities, and a comprehensive
repertoire of internet finance platforms such as Alipay, Yu’e’bao, Zhaocaibao, etc.
•
Tencent has advantages in gathering retail customers through WeChat, as well as the potential to develop O2O payments and
financial service for consumers and SMEs in the longer run. Tencent is able to collect a variety of consumer behavior data, but it will
take time to build up a platform to capture e-commerce transactions and a wide range of payment scenarios. In terms of its further
consumer/SME banking potential, we believe Tencent’s O2O initiatives, cooperation with JD.com, and its new banking subsidiary’s
strategy are the three areas to watch for.
•
Baidu is relatively weak in e-commerce transaction/payment functions, but its strong data mining capability and searching traffic
could help it build wealth management platforms and/or generate revenue from financial-service related searches.
That said, we believe BAT are likely to face challenges if and when they expand into finance services — notably complying with
complicated financial regulations in payment, anti-money laundering, customer education, and face-to-face interviews. These may
become more challenging if regulators impose tighter compliance standards (for example, third-party payment volume caps, face-to-face
interview in physical places).
Impact on financials: Risk of marginalizing mid-cap banks; Ping An, CMB, ICBC best placed
Although still very early days in the ascent of internet finance and therefore difficult to predict how the challenge from BAT can be met, we
believe three large-cap financials are best placed to defend their positions due to their strong IT capability and internet finance strategic
focus: Ping An Group, China Merchants Bank and ICBC.
Those most at risk of marginalization, albeit in the longer-term, are mid-cap banks — specifically BoCom, Citic Bank, Shanghai Pudong
Development Bank, Huaxia and China Everbright Bank — on relative weakness in their current retail banking franchise and their focus on
SME business, which we see as the next big battleground for internet finance initiatives.

The stage is set for Titans to clash: Internet finance to come of age in the next decade
Internet finance in China has been developing rapidly in China, evidenced by the leadership of Alipay/Tenpay in online shopping payment
marketing, the boom in internet money market funds (c. Rmb1tn increase in AUM in the past year), thousands of P2P lending websites, and
BAT’s push in O2O payment, etc.
We expect internet players will accelerate development of their consumer credit and SME banking capabilities, building on their success in
gaining a lead over banks in the online payment scenarios. We forecast consumer and SME loans/payment-related business of internet
giants (essentially BAT and JD.com) could generate US$29bn/US$11bn net profits by 2024, or up to c. 6%/2% of bank profits. We estimate
their overall loan book could grow to Rmb6.8 tn in 2024, representing 2% of total social financing, excluding bonds and equities in China.
We see four key drivers of internet finance in China
(1) Rapid growth in e-commerce and mobile commerce activities in China, thanks to increasing numbers of internet and smartphone
users, improving logistics for online shopping, and a plethora of e-commerce providers. For example, Alibaba Group’s Tmall and Taobao
market places’ Gross Merchandise Value (GMV) reached Rmb1.5tn in 2013, 3% of GDP and 14% of retail sales. Moreover, China’s ecommerce penetration ratio and smart phone penetration ratio growing at the fastest clip among major economies and quickly catching up
with the US (Exhibits 2-6).

(2) Internet players’ financial innovations as a catalyst or a driving force for financial service “deregulation”, as the tight
regulations on banks and insurers and the interest rate and loan quota regulations provide many growth opportunities for internet finance
to serve un-satisfied demand.
In our view banks have weaker incentive to lend to consumers and SMEs than to big SOEs because of China’s loan quota policy, implicit
government guarantees of SOEs, the 75% L/D ratio cap and an undeveloped credit investigation system for smaller borrowers. As a
result, many SMEs have a cost of funding of 16% or more, considerably higher than large corporates of 5%-6%, and many SMEs and
consumers have limited access to bank loans or corporate bonds (Exhibits 7-9). Therefore, we believe the underpenetrated market for
smaller borrowers provides internet players with growth potential in these areas.
In contrast, government is supportive of financial innovation in the internet sphere, and has imposed limited regulatory limits
to internet finance providers so far. China’s government has encouraged financial innovations to serve SMEs and consumer banking.
For instance, the banking regulators recently approved for Tencent and Alibaba Group to be major shareholders and sponsors of two
new private banks.
Exhibit 7: SMEs have much higher funding costs than large corporates, partly
due to their limited access to traditional bank loans/corporate bond markets
Exhibit 8: SMEs loans accounted for only 31% of bank loans in 2013

(3) Internet players have strong incentives and capability to collect and analyze transaction, behavior and payment data to
enable them to improve risk management and target potential users for certain markets. In contrast, although banks have a plethora of
transaction data in credit and banking cards, we believe they have so far not analyzed or utilized this data effectively to do targeted marketing
or credit analysis.
(4) BAT and JD.com have a more closed ecosystem to execute both transactions and payment and capture multi-dimensional data for
credit assessment. In China, third-party payment tools (mainly Alipay, Tenpay, etc.) made up of 76% of online shopping volume in 2013, vs.
only 15% in the US, where e-commerce payment is dominated by US banks (Exhibit 10).
The closed ecosystem includes both e-commerce transactions and payment, enabling internet players to know the identity of the customer,
whether payment has been made, whether the transaction is completed, and whether the vendor has received payment. The information
gathered in closed systems on transaction and fund flow can help internet players perform credit analysis, and ascertain whether the
suppliers or customers need working capital. Banks typically are strong in capturing such data for offline commerce transactions and payment.

Internet finance giants’ profit: US$40bn by 2024, equal to around 8% of banks’ profits
We project the consumer and SME loan balance of internet giants (essentially BAT and JD.com) to rise to Rmb6.8tn by 2024E, generating
76% CAGR in the coming decade from its start-up loan base of c.Rmb7bn in 2013. Even still, this will represent only 2% of total social
financing (excl. bonds and equities) in 2024E, as we expect banks’ and other financial institutions will also grow their credit products at a
2014E-2024E CAGR of 12%.
Our projection of 76% CAGR over 10 years off a low base takes into consideration:
•
BAT need time to build up their capital base if they aim to grow their offline SME and consumer loans. According to the China
Banking Regulator (CBRC), banking financial institutions’ capital base was c. Rmb11tn in August 2014, multiple times larger than
the capital of BAT’s financial companies. (e.g. the Rmb1.2bn registered capital of Small and Micro Financial Services Company,
Alibaba’s financial business; the Rmb3bn registered capital of WeBank invested by Tencent; and the Rmb200mn registered capital
of Baidu’s micro lending firms)
•
It may take time for internet players to develop solid risk management models in the off-line business. Currently Alibaba’s initial
success in online SME loans (e.g. Alibaba’s Rmb15 bn SME loan portfolio has an NPL ration of around 1%) is built around selected
Taobao shops for which Alibaba has information about sales and cash flow. In addition, Alibaba is able to control the activities of a
Taobao shop in the case of a loan default, providing an incentive for vendors to maintain payments.
As the internet giants move into offline channels to compete with traditional banks, we believe their inherent information advantage over
banks will be diluted, and therefore their expansion will be less rapid that in their online business models.

In terms of their profits, we project internet player could earn 28% ROE and NPAT of Rmb180 bn (US$29bn) from credit products
or c.6% of banks’ overall profits in 2024E), as they will mainly focus on the areas with the most promising and profitable bank
business — consumers and SMEs.

Separately, we forecast BAT payment businesses could earn net profits of Rmb66bn (or US$10.7bn), with a 24% CAGR in the next
decade, driven by robust internet shopping and their push into O2O payment.
In terms of banking sector profitability projection, we project banks’ ROA to decline from 1.35% in FY13 to 0.82% in 2024, given:
全球投资研究

A fall in the net margin from an average 2.68% in FY13 to 2.01% in 2024E, due to the increasing competition and interest rate
deregulation.

Average credit costs to normalize to 1% in 2024 from 0.64% in FY13.

Credit growth to slow to c. 10% in FY2024E from 17.9% yoy in FY13.

The first battleground: payment as client/data acquisition tool; now moving to offline
Online payment develops rapidly – large by transaction number, but small by value
Payment has been the first battleground — a primary tool to gather clients, transactions and data; after success in online, BAT is moving offline and into O2O. Internet players like Alipay have been rapidly developing their payment business, and taking market share from
banks/China Unionpay. They have dominated the PC and mobile consumption payment market — taking 76% of volume by value in 2013.
Particularly, we note Alipay in 2013 has almost drawn level with bankcard consumption payment in terms of transaction units (albeit a fraction
by value). Moreover, it gained 21% market share in third-party Transaction Payment Volume, second behind Unionpay’s subsidiary
ChinaUnionpay Merchants Service (ChinaUMS) (Exhibits 16-17).
Exhibit 16: Alipay’s number of transactions rose rapidly to 98% of bankcard
consumption payments, although its TPV was only a tenth (Rmb3.6tn vs. 32tn
in 2013)
Exhibit 17: Third-party players’ TPV was much smaller than banks’ due to
their small-ticket size. Alipay’s share in the third-party payment (internet +
offline) was 21% vs. 40% of Unionpay’s subsidiary ChinaUMS in 2013

The move to offline
The payment battle between banks/Unionpay and the internet giants has become fiercer since BAT started to develop mobile payment
solutions for offline business — so called O2O (online to offline) business, challenging banks’ offline payment leadership. We believe

payment is a high ROE busin

Moreover, we believe BAT w
will increasingly leverage their payment functions to gather clients, transaction and payment data both
within and outside their group

attract lots of consum
mers to merchants and be used to execute various B2C/B2B/C2C transactiions. Moreover, the majority of
frequent interactionss between internet financial service providers and customers occur in paym

We expect both bankcard payment and BAT’s payment methods will continue to grow rapidly. However, we expect BAT’s payments, to
register much higher growth, driven by internet commerce, smartphone penetration, user-friendly experience that is supported a simple,
convenient and intuitive system, and the addition of more payment scenarios in BAT’s ecosystems (Exhibit 19). We also expect Alipay and
Tenpay to further develop their off-line payment scenarios such as Alipay’s recent move to offline merchants such as hospitals and taxis.
We think these off-line payment scenarios are critical to BAT to further develop their O2O business — by acquiring off-line clients including
SMEs, acquiring transaction data, and allowing the off-line business model to be a relatively closed ecosystem. In turn, this should enable
them to build a foundation to develop their consumer and SME banking.
In contrast, banks and China Unionpay are traditionally strong in off-line payment scenarios, and have enjoyed high growth over the past
decade with their merchant penetration ratio rising to 47% in 2013 from 11% in 2008. Their dataming capability, however, is still undeveloped.
Exhibit 19: We see continued increase of penetration of bank cards, but online/mobile payment should have much higher growth than banking cards

NFC payment function could provide banks a way to repel BAT, if well executed
We believe banks will need to increase investment and more focus their efforts to develop their banking card and new payment
technologies. Moves are underway, however. For example, Unionpay and many banks are pushing NFC mobile payment, potentially using
the iPhone 6 (according to Caixin) and already in conjunction with Xiaomi, Huawei and others. If executed well, this could provide a way for
banks to defend their traditional dominance of payments. NFC is a near-field payment tool with bankcard information stored in cellphones.
Unionpay is leading banks to promote NFC and has upgraded over 3mn POS to NFC-enabled machines. NFC as a system has greater
speed and safety for offline merchant payment scenarios than bar-code payment tools.
However, we believe NFC’s effectiveness remains to be established in China, as there is insufficient incentive for offline merchants to use
NFC and it has not deeply penetrated consumers consciousness, even though NFC has many advantages over the bar-code payment
system employed by the internet giants. For NFC payment to become widely used in the next few years, we believe banks and Unionpay will
need to do the following:

Aggressively promote NFC and install more NFC enabled POS machines in offline merchants.

Simplify or remove the NFC-wallet charge process from customers’ bank accounts to separate NFC wallet accounts. Currently,
customers need to get a special NFC wallet account for small ticket payments, which link to their bank accounts, and need to
transfer money before they use NFC. This greatly impacts on their user experience, and so need to be simplified, in our view.

Collaborate with as many mobile manufacturers and telecom operators as possible.

Develop value-added services to incentivize merchants and consumers, similar to BAT’s CRM service for merchants and
customized merchant recommendation for consumers.
Recently, Apple launched the NFC function in its i-Phone6 in the US. We believe that if China banks and Unionpay can reach an agreement
to cooperate with Apple, their NFC payment can overcome its user-experience weakness, penetrate Apple aficionados and attract other
cellphone manufacturers to follow its NFC model, it will give them a way of defending their position from the BAT challenge.

The second battleground: consumer and SME banking — huge but still untested for BAT
Mining their advantages could allow BAT to threaten banks in consumer/SME banking products
Alibaba Group and JD.com already offer SME loans to their merchants and/or suppliers, as well as consumer loans to their clients. We
expect the internet giants and JD will accelerate their efforts in offering consumer banking, credit cards and SME banking online, to leverage
their enormous retail and SME client base, their strong datamining capability (especially for online transactions), and their established ecommerce/m-commerce ecosystem, etc.
We believe that compared with banks, BAT have increasing advantages in four of seven key banking services:

Transactions —capturing online economic transactions, and increasingly pushing into off-line transactions; E.g. Alibaba leads the
online B2B/B2C/C2C commerce transactions in China.

Payment — using online and off-line payment services to facilitate online and O2O transactions and capture clients and payment
data. E.g. Alipay active users reached 300mn+ in early 2014. Alipay is now challenging banks’ leadership in the offline payment
market, by developing offline payment scenarios such as hospital, utilities, taxi and other O2O cases as well as its mobile payment
tools such as code payment, etc

Data — using their ecosystem and big data techniques to gather and analyze clients’ entity and identity data including locations,
age, family size, etc, as well as consumers’ multi-dimensional behavior data such as purchase behaviors, and transaction data.
Essentially they have the ability to analyze who their clients are, their online and off-line behavior, and what they shop for, and
whether they have ability and willingness to repay loans.
For instance, Alibaba captures various data about Taobao merchants including their sales trend, client distribution, client feedback,
logistics and fund flows (Exhibit 22). As such, on the back of its datamining, credit analysis, and automatic loan approval and risk
management, Alibaba can offer attractive unsecured credit products to Taobao merchants at c. 15% to 25% yields. These shops can
easily apply online, get the approval/proceeds instantly and pay much lower funding cost than informal lending (25%-40%). In
addition, we believe Alibaba’s SME business could also deliver high ROEs given its good risk control, on the back its c.18-25% loan
yield, fewer manual data entry requirements and good asset quality (NPL ratio only 1.1pp in early 2014).

Regulatory advantages — so far internet players are subject to limited regulation regarding their financial innovations, whereas
banks face still strict regulations for loan quotas, L/D ratios, and capital and anti-money laundering requirements. There are risks
that in the future regulators may need to level the play field between internet finance players and banks.
However, banks retain their traditional strengths:
全球投资研究
•
Cheap deposit funding — as provided by their licenses to undertake deposit taking business. Although internet players can issue
bonds or undertake securitization to attract funding, we think their funding costs could be at least 300bp higher than banks.
•
Enormous capital positions — to support the business.
20
2014 年 11 月 14 日
中国：金融服务
•
On-site due diligence (DD) — based on personal contacts and banks’ broad physical networks, which is critical for risk
assessment of more complicated and bigger transactions such as mortgages and SME loans and corporate loans. For example, in
terms of SME loans, typically the due diligence process checks the true operation of the business, such as production and inventory,
and the background of the entrepreneurs and senior management. Personal contacts and conversations between banks and
corporate, their suppliers and customers are critical for the quality of the DD review.

In light of these fundamentals, we believe internet players’ consumer and SME banking will grow very rapidly off a low base, but it will take
many years for internet players to wrangle significant market shares from traditional financial service players — predominantly due to their
comparatively limited capital and funding. Moreover, internet players will still need to strengthen their multi-dimensional behavior database
and risk management tools as the battleground migrates to off-line consumer and SME banking business, as:
全球投资研究

Compared with banks, internet players still have limited financial-related data (salary, fund flow, personal wealth) for consumers and
SMEs, as well as little insight into the offline commerce transaction data that banks usually capture from banking cards and fund
remittance activities;

Their current off-line risk mgmt. model is still in its infancy, and untested for the bigger and more complicated off-lines financial
transactions.

BAT’s internet finance strategy: Alibaba leads in internet finance
We have analyzed the key strengths, weakness and growth strategies of the BATs’ internet finance business, and believe:
•
Alibaba Group (Alibaba, in this report refers to Alibaba Group and its affiliate Ant Financial Services Group) is the leader in internet
finance in terms of transactions, payment, data, risk management, and comprehensive financial platform.
•
Tencent enjoys strong retail customer acquisition, but has yet to monetize this; its O2O push and new banking subsidiary are
critical to watch for its consumer and SME banking business growth.
•
Baidu is relatively weak in e-commerce, but has the potential to monetize financial related searches and WMP distribution platforms.
However, we note the customer franchises and internet finance strategy of these internet firms will be constantly changing, and we will
continue to monitor new trends.
Alibaba leads in internet finance
We believe Alibaba is the leading internet finance player — with strong e-commerce, payment, data mining, risk management and product
development. The majority of its finance businesses is conducted by Ant Financial Services Group (AFSG, formerly Small and Micro Finance
Service Company), of which 37.5% of profit sharing rights are attributed to the listed Alibaba Group. We believe Alibaba’s strengths in internet
finance include five main strengths:
(1) Its strong and relatively closed e-commerce ecosystem provides a solid platform to acquire consumers/SMEs clients, and capture
payment and consumer behavior data.
•
Its retail e-commerce maintains a leadership position in China, and we think it will be difficult for competitors to catch up. The
GMV (Gross Merchandise Value) of its e-commerce platforms reached Rmb1.9tn in FY14. Taobao dominated with over 90%
market share in C2C commerce, while Tmall account for 57% share in B2C in 2013.
•
Large user base: Around 279mn active buyers and 8.5mn active sellers in its China retail market places in FY14.
•
No. 1 player in online e-commerce transactions (90+ % share in C2C, 57% share in B2C and No.1 in B2B) in 2013.
•
Alipay is the leader in online small-ticket payment market (over 300mn active users in early 2014 and Rmb3.6tn TPV in
2013)
•
Alibaba Group is able to capture sizable multi-dimensional data — including: identity, payment, transactional and users’
behavioral data — and has strong data mining skills.
(2) Alipay dominates online payment, and is now moving off-line into areas such as taxis, hospitals, utility bills, etc., to gather even
more off-line commerce, customer traffics and data.
Alipay initially emerged as a payment tool to facilitate online e-commerce transactions. It offers 7 day credit/escrow accounts so that
customers can buy goods and pay the escrow accounts first; Alipay then releases the funds to online shops after clients are satisfied with the
goods delivered. This helps customers shop online without worrying about fraud (e.g. shops walking away without delivering the goods).

By contrast, banking cards are not frequently used as consumers have concerns about the safety of putting card information online. Moreover,
neither banks nor China Unionpay have really tried to address such concerns or sufficiently promote banking card e-commerce transactions.
With new services now being rolled out, such as paying utility bills, peer to peer payments, and payment services off-line, Alipay is becoming
an even better tool to captures more customers outside Aligroup’s ecosystem.
(3) Alibaba has strong IT, data mining and cloud computing capability to develop online risk assessing, credit scorings, loan
monitoring systems, which we believe could be more advanced than China banks’ systems for consumer and SME banking.
For instance, in its Taobao merchant loan model (Exhibit 24), Ali-Cloud processes over 30 Petabytes available for data mining every day (a
colossal amount). In our view it is vital for the system to be able to assess risk, rank credit and assign loan limits within seconds and
continuously monitor asset quality trends, perform advanced data mining and have cloud computing. This sets a high entry barrier.

(4) Alibaba has built a comprehensive financial platform. By leveraging the traffic and data in transactions and payment, Alibaba is
actively growing wealth management product (WMP) business — such as Ali-WMP platform, asset managers etc.
Its Yu’ebao money market fund has gained 124mn+ investors and over Rmb500bn in AUM within a year, demonstrating how effective Alipay
can be in bringing traffic to its WMP business.
(5) With Alibaba’s bank license, we believe its SME/consumer lending business looks promising in the long-term.
It is unclear to us what the business models Alibaba’s new bank will adopt, and what the future strategy for AFSG will be.
According to Alibaba, it may build an open platform for its financial services, such as selling WMP of other financial institutions, being a
platform for P2P lending, offering mutual funds such Yu’ebao, and similar strategies.
In the mid-to-long term, we believe Alibaba’s bank subsidiary can offer unsecured consumer loans and credit card loans to its enormous
Alipay customer base, or Taobao/Tmall customers.
For SME loans, we believe Alibaba’s bank subsidiary (30% stake owned by AFSG) can continue to offer its SME loans to serve Tmall and
Taobao merchants online, as its current online SME loan model enjoys the following advantages:
•
Under its real-name account ecosystem, a large number of multi-dimensional data including financial,
personal, location, ID are collected by its ecosystem automatically (Exhibit 27).
•
User-friendly experience for applicants: three minutes for a vendor to apply for a loan and a one minute
waiting period for loan approval and issuance. This compares to the detailed and long-drawn out proves
for offline applications for traditional bank loans.
•
Manageable credit cost: 1.1% NPL ratio in early 2014 for unsecured micro loans.
Moreover, we believe Alibaba can expand SME loans to off-line merchants, as Alibaba increasingly moves offline. Its offline
commerce — such as travel, healthcare and other daily-life consumer business are gradually being incorporated in its
ecosystem.
However, we see these challenges in Alibaba’s finance business going forward:
全球投资研究
•
There is much ground for Alibaba to cover to increase its penetration in offline merchants and make its O2O payment widely-used in
offline scenarios.
•
Its online risk model has not been tested for off-line merchants and large borrowers (especially non-Taobao merchants and
consumer credit cards).
•
It will also encounter more NPL collection problems offline than online, as Alibaba finance division does not have many branches,
and has limited measures of sanctioning borrowers for debt defaults (for online shoppers, Alibaba can close their shops);
•
Its rapid credit growth could be limited by the relatively small capital base of AFSG (registered capital of Rmb1.2bn)
•
If it gains sufficient scale and regulators decide to treat it as a financial institution, AFSG might need to meet similar compliance
requirements as banks for payment, anti-money laundering, customer education, face-to-face interviews, etc.

Alibaba’ s SWOT analysis in the internet finance space
Strengths
Weaknesses
1. Dominant player in online B2B/B2C/C2C commerce
1. Small capital base of Alibaba Group and its
financial operations, vs. banks’ capital of Rmb11tn in
Aug 2014
2. Alipay as the leader in online small-ticket payment market
in terms of both # of deals and user base
3. Sizable multi-dimensional data incl. ID, payment,
transaction and its ecosystem's behavior data
2. Relatively weak penetration in offline merchants
4. Top-tier data mining, cloud computing skills supported by
Ali-cloud and Hundsun Tech; good risk mgmt. track record
of Taobao loans
5. Various financial license(bank, mutual funds, online/POS
payment)
6. Strong financial product innovation capabilities like ABS,
Yu’ebao, etc.
Opportunities
1. Grow O2O commerce and payment scenarios to penetrate
offline payment and gain more data (e.g. hospital, taxis, etc.)
Potential risks
2. Develop its ecosystem to lock customers and capture
more behavioral and transaction data
1. Challenges in complying with complicated
financial regulations including payment, anti-money
laundering, customer education, face-to-face
interviews, etc.
3. Sell value-added CRM/marketing service to offline
merchants/SMEs; gather more corporate data from investing
into custom clearing corporates, hotel IT players, etc.
2. Failure of risk management model could cause
high NPLs; lack of off-line NPL collection/
restructuring resources
4. Issue online credit cards, consumer/SME loans based on
data mining after the launch of the new bank
5. Distribute financial product via internet channel

Tencent still to monetize its retail customers
We believe Tencent has advantages of gathering retail customers through WeChat and Tenpay, but has yet to monetize its internet finance
business given still relatively weak e-commerce transaction volumes vs. Alibaba Group. Its O2O push is critical to developing a
consumer/SME banking operation in the longer run, in our view.
(1) Tencent has a large customer base and stickiness via its WeChat and QQ, providing strong traffic support to its WMP distribution
and other O2O applications.
For instance, Wechat helped Tencent distribute a Rmb62bn money market fund from 2.4mn users, becoming the second largest internet
money market fund as of 1H14. Tencent is in the process of developing a mobile WMP platform, which will allow financial institutions to
distribute various products to its grass-root customers.
(2) Tencent has popular C2C small-ticket payment and a large amount of social network and ID data, a solid foundation for its
consumer lending business especially after its WeBank subsidiary becomes operational.

Tencent captures abundant ID data and behavior data like social networking, peer-to-peer small ticket payment, location, gaming by
levering its WeChat and QQ.

We view this as a good basis for the risk management of consumer loans. However, compared with Alibaba, Tencent lacks of
personal wealth and shopping habits data for assessing credit risks;

We believe Tencent’s WeBank subsidiary (30% stake) will likely to leverage Tencent’s strength to focus online retail loans and
deposits. It may also set up some physical branches or VTM so as to develop its large-ticket payment and bank WMP services.
(3) Tencent can build its off-line transactions and payment-customers plus data (needed elements to develop consumer/SME
banking) via its push into O2O
Tencent invested in Jingdong (JD.com), the No.2 B2C e-commerce player, as well as several influential O2O players in order to quickly
expand its O2O business.
It remains to be seen whether Tencent can effectively migrate its 500-600mn WeChat and QQ users to its m-commerce and O2O commerce
applications (e.g. Jindong, WeChat O2O shops and many other O2O applications) (Exhibit 29).
However, Tencent has not monetized its internet finance, given its following weakness and risks as below:
全球投资研究

Tencent has weaker B2C/C2C e-commerce and online payment transaction volume than Alibaba, which may result in insufficient
transaction data and fund flow data for its online risk management, as well as less access to merchants.

Similar to Alibaba, Tencent faces a relatively small capital base and weak offline DD to combat banks’ current advantage in off-line
commercial activities and their branch network.

Tencent could also face challenges if required to meet compliance requirements for payment, anti-money laundering, customer
education, face-to-face interviews, etc. to level the playing field with banks.

Baidu: potential in financial searches and WMP distribution; O2O worth watching
Unlike Alibaba and Tencent, Baidu has low e-commerce transaction/payment volumes. However, its strong data mining abilities and internet
search traffic could help it establish its franchise in financial vertical searches and WMP distribution.
We believe Baidu has the potential to establish a popular WMP platform and monetize its financial vertical search, with the
help of its large user traffic and strong data mining skills.
Baidu is the dominant domestic search engine provider — with over 85% market share in both PC and mobile market in 2013. Particularly,
Baidu enjoys large financial-related traffic (350mn financial-related search queries per day).
We believe Baidu could monetize these financial search queries by introducing clients to various financial product providers in a more
efficient and organized way. Financial vertical search could be a revenue driver for search engine companies. For instance, finance and
insurance search business contributes around 11% of Google’s advertising revenue in 2011.
By leveraging such a large volume of traffic, it is also possible for Baidu to develop popular WMP distribution platform like landing pages/
Baifa WMP platform, and become a gateway for various financial product providers.

Its landing page could convert search engine traffic effectively to WMP selling. For example, in future, when a customer searches for
“mutual fund” in Baidu, Baidu could present various mutual fund products and let users fulfill payment & transactions on its landing
pages instead of directing them to financial institutions’ web pages.

Its young WMP platform, Baifa, has the potential to develop to a platform with comprehensive financial products and precise product
recommendation based on its strong data mining skills.

Although only limited mutual fund products and insurance products are currently on sale on its Baifa platform, we believe it is
possible for Baidu to distribute more financial products since Baidu is open to various financial institutions and is applying for more
financial licenses.
We believe its push into O2O commerce could give Baidu an opportunity to develop its mobile payment and transactions for
consumer and SME banking business in the longer term, similar to Tencent. Baidu can leverage its map application (260mn+ subs in 2013) in
the O2O challenge against Alibaba and Tencent.
Although the number of its O2O applications is currently lower than Tencent and Alibaba, we believe the underpenetrated O2O or offline
commerce market will provide massive growth potential for all three of the BAT giants. The O2O market is still in an early stage of
development, and we don’t rule out the chance of the success of Baidu’s mobile payment and Baidu Connect (a customized m-commerce
page directly connecting Baidu Search App users and offline merchants).

Impact on financials: Marginalization a risk for midcap banks; Ping An, CMB, ICBC best
placed
Most China banks and financial service providers generally spotted the threats from internet players in 2013, and started to
react and defend their positions, by:

Setting up their own e-commerce websites to sell merchandise from their proved business partners;

Setting up their own P2P platforms to sell securitized loan products as a WMP to compete with other P2P companies, and setting up
money market funds like Yu’e’bao.
However, we believe their initiatives typically have not addressed the key threats from internet players, i.e. payment, consumer
banking, SME banking/O2O, and datamining/big data capabilities. As such, if the current situation continues, we believe banks may gradually
lose their advantage in payment, retail and SME banking business as e-commerce and O2O develop.
Although still very early days in the ascent of internet finance and therefore difficult to predict how the challenge from BAT can be met, we
believe three large-cap financials are best placed to defend their positions due to their strong IT capability and internet finance
strategic focus: Ping An Group, CMB and ICBC.
Those most at risk of marginalization, albeit in the longer-term, are mid-cap banks — specifically BoCom, CNCB, Shanghai Pudong
Development Bank, Huaxia and CEB — on relative weakness in their current retail banking franchise and their focus on SME business, which
we see as the second battleground for internet finance initiatives.
We assess banks’ retail banking franchise and IT capability (Exhibit 33), with ICBC and CMB ranking well, and CNCB, SPDB,
Industrial, CEB, Huaxia, BONJ CQRCB, BOCQ, ranking poorly. We look at:

Retail deposits as a share of total deposits — to show the current customer and funding franchise of banks, and as an indicator of
client stickiness.

Number of credit cards and bank card fees as a share of revenue as evidence of ability to market and attract credit card users.

Number of branches for convenience to retail customers, and as an indicator of client stickiness.
We also look at banks’ SME banking franchises (Exhibit 34): we believe CMB, ICBC, ABC, Minsheng, Industrial Bank are best placed,
with BoCom, CNCB, SPDB, Huaxia, CEB much less so.

Assessing internet finance strategies of key financial institutions
Ping An Group: comprehensive internet finance strategy, top rank IT and integrated platforms
Among the Chinese financials, we believe Ping An Group was one of the first to determine a comprehensive internet finance strategy, and it
has recently stepped up the pace of implementation. However, we point out that many of its endeavors are still at an early stage of
development and the ability to add value depends on future execution.
Instead of treating the internet as another distribution channel, Ping An’s internet finance seeks to incorporate financial services into
consumers’ everyday life through health, food, housing (home) and transportation (auto) needs. Ping An has set up seven subsidiaries such
as Wanlitong Loyalty Points Program, Lufax, Ping An Haoche (used car trading platform), and Ping An Pay etc. The plan is to utilize these
subsidiaries as ‘platforms’ to access and attract potential customers, maximize contact points with consumers, gather personal
information/perform data mining.
If utilized well, these platforms should help Ping An to understand their target consumers better and offer precision marketing, and eventually
help migrating customers from non-financial services to the consumer financial services that Ping An specializes in. They could also help lock

中国：金融服务
in customers via cross-selling, loyalty programs and other value-added services, and eventually creating a closed loop or ecosystem around it,
instead of just being the downstream of the value chain.
For example, Ping An Haoche aims to provide an efficient used car trading platform in the nascent used car market in China, utilizing Ping An
P&C’s auto database/pricing expertise. The goal eventually is to migrate customers from such a platform to traditional businesses, and
provide a one-stop financial service associated with used car trading, such as car loans (Ping An Bank) and car insurance (Ping An P&C).
Subsidiary Lufax is a trading platform for non-standard credit assets (NSCAs), providing liquidity in NSCAs for financial institutions via
securitization products like ABS for individuals, corporates and FIs. We believe such a platform might create some a revenue stream
(underwriting fees charged over the borrowers, distribution fees over retail and institutional clients at a rate of 5-20% and commission for
secondary market NSCA deals at a commission rate at 0.5-5%), and help acquire new clients for the group.
At present, it selects borrowers, conduct risk management offline and securitize NSCAs by P2P and sell them to households. As of 1H14,
Lufax attracted 17mn+ registered clients and sold Rmb300bn+ P2Ps. Most of the P2Ps receive a guarantee from Ping An’s subsidiary at
present, although Ping An is trying to educate investors and remove guarantees eventually.
We see these key strengths in Ping An Group’s strategy and capabilities to help it defend against the threat:
•
Development of internet services for consumers and SMEs’ daily life, aiming to acquire customers and data. The services include
used car online trade platform, online housing promotion, healthcare prepaid card, points-for-prizes platform, along with Ping An
Bank’s orange E platform providing B2B commerce and IT solution services to SMEs.
•
Apply “one-account system” to all internet applications and financial services to lock in clients and integrate the multi-dimensional
data of one-account users. Ping An’s one-account system could be viewed as a real-name ecosystem to integrate Ping An’s product
offerings across life insurance, P&C insurance, banking, trust and brokerage business. This could help Ping An undertake crossselling among various businesses and capture multi-dimensional data about clients’ solvency/credit worthiness.
•
Ping An’s IT strengths and the integrated back-office to enable Ping An to consolidate online/off-line data to run data mining for retail
loans, insurance pricing and smart WM service, etc.
•
Better management incentive scheme to develop internet finance than its peers. As a privately owned financial service group, we
believe Ping An’s management are more long-term focused than peers, especially in light of its proposed Employee Share Purchase
Scheme, which could help better align the long-term interests of management/key employees and shareholders. By contrast,
management in many other China financial service companies are state-owned.
There are still areas for improvement, such as attracting customers to use them more by adding more usage scenarios, and improving
user experience and datamining capabilities in its internet finance platforms. We believe that except for Lufax and Wanlitong, its internet
businesses’ user base is still relatively small, due to its late entrance, weaker user experience and absence of sufficient differentiation/traction.

CMB: strong in IT service for SMEs, NFC trial, consumer/credit card brand and IT capability
Among China banks, we believe China Merchants Bank has the following strengths in its internet finance development, and in defending its
business from BAT competition:

CMB has one of the best consumer and SME banking expertise and brands to serve mid-to-high end customers.

CMB has a first-tier IT team capable of above-peer data mining for consumers/credit cards/SMEs and excellent PC banking and
mobile banking user experience, evidenced by its mobile banking app and credit card apps (rank Top 2 and 3, respectively among
financial institutions apps with over 25mn MAU (Monthly Active User) in Aug 2014 based on iResearch)

In terms of SME banking, CMB is in the process of collecting SME data online by offering IT/ERP (Enterprise resource planning)
software services to SME clients. It provides free IT services including comprehensive settlement mobile app, corporate email/call
center/ERP software, etc. to 30k+ SMEs.
We view this as an efficient way to bond with SMEs clients, collect their operational information such as sales, inventory, salary payment and
payment information so that CMB can better serve these corporate clients by offering trade finance products, as well as better perform credit
risk management.
Moreover, we believe CMB’s SME ERP service can differentiate it from IT software players in the following ways:

Its SME IT software provides more comprehensive solutions than IT software players. CMB can provide settlement, WMP
investment and other payment services while the latter can’t do due to the lack of bank or third-party payment license.

Its software is free while IT software companies charge fees for some core software. CMB monetize such services by its SME loan
interest income and banking service fees.

It could lock in its SME customer relationships since SME clients are usually unwilling to change their IT software after they become
familiar with it. Corporates prefer stable back-end system, unlike consumers who tend to embrace changing technology fashions. So
far BAT have employed only limited efforts in this market (only Alibaba provides some IT/ERP services to the SMEs in its commerce
platform). Therefore, CMB could still enjoy early-mover advantage in our view.
CMB has differentiated its NFC model from other banks so far, and could be a good basis for O2O payment in the future.
We believe CMB’ NFC model (NFC chip in cellphone) differentiates it from many other banks’ NFC models such as SPDB, as:

It has a slightly simplified money-charge process and hence better user experience.

CMB set up a JV with China Unicom (No.2 telecom player in China) to promote its NFC tool.

Its relatively young customer mix could make such new payment technology more easily accepted.
In contrast, we note SPDB’s NFC model (NFC chip in SIM card) employs a more complicated process than CMB’s, as users have to go to
China Mobile outlets to apply for an NFC-SIM card and sign-off.

ICBC: strong retail/SME franchise and IT capability; data mining and marketing needs to improve
Among big banks, we believe ICBC has a better than peer retail and SME banking franchise, IT capability, and management focus in terms of
internet finance initiatives, as:

ICBC has one of the largest retail banking client base, credit card issuance and branch network among big banks. ICBC has a large user
database with 135mn mobile banking users and 95mn credit cards in issuance, all ranking No.1 as of 1H14.

Its IT team also ranks in the top tier among banks, with strong capability to deal with over 50mn transactions per second.

We also believe ICBC’s payment tool “Express Payment” could differentiate it from BAT payment tools, with a good balance between
user experience and security. It attracted 22mn users as of August 2014.
Nevertheless, we believe ICBC needs to improve its datamining capability, and refine its targeted marketing. For instance, ICBC’s credit card
business units have plenty of daily banking card transaction data for ICBC to do datamining (e.g. which customers buy what goods) and then
target their marketing efforts. However, the datamining team of ICBC credit card center is very small, and such efforts so far have remained
limited.
Minsheng Bank: reasonably strong SME/IT capability; trial in direct banking and O2O services
Minsheng Bank has strong SME banking franchise and focus, and strong management incentives to compete with internet finance and
reasonably good IT capability. Its recent moves into direct banking and its trial of O2O services associated with community outlets are
interesting moves, and worth watching.

Minsheng recently launches O2O services associated with community outlets. It provides online localized services like networking,
transportation, payment services and financial products for community residents, while the offline community outlets will support online
product promotion, transportation, a help-desk staffed by real people for elderly people, etc.
We believe such O2O services may have the potential to deliver differentiated local information and payment scenarios by leveraging its
offline outlets. However, the implementation and business model success remains to be closely monitored.

Minsheng is the early-mover into online direct banking to compete with online T+0 money market fund WMPs such as Yu’ebao
Its direct bank sells money market funds and structural deposits, and is going to launch online instant consumer loans secured by clients’
financial assets.
While this helps it retain and attract retail customers, we believe this could raise its funding costs. It may also be difficult for its direct bank
to attract a large number of sustainable customers given the lack of payment scenarios and mobile traffic.

Industrial Bank: potential in developing internet WMP platform, retail/SME franchise weak
We believe Industrial bank may have potential in developing the internet WMP platform, thanks to its strong product innovation capability and
interbank platform. However, we think it may still face marginalization risk in consumer banking and SME banking given its relatively weak
retail/SME banking franchise and focus, and IT capability.
Industrial Bank recently develop an online bank WMP platform named “Bank Bank Platform” (YYPT in Chinese), which sells in-house and
third-party bank WMPs, MMFs and other mutual funds.
The platform’s MMF AUM quickly expanded to Rmb52bn and become comparable to the Rmb62bn AUM of WeChat MMF in 1H14, thanks to
its high return.
Baidu may direct traffic to YYPT based on their strategic cooperation contract.
Bank of Beijing: cooperation with Xiaomi in NFC; value-added marketing services at an early stage
Bank of Beijing (BOBJ) has a reasonably strong retail banking and SME banking franchise in its home market, Beijing City, partly as it
historically mainly serve SMEs in Beijing, and partly as Beijing local government provides access for BOBJ to handle retail customers’
pension and medical care bank accounts.
Despite its relatively weak IT capability, it recently launched several interesting internet finance initiatives by cooperating with Xiaomi
rd
Company (the 3 largest cellphone manufacturer worldwide in 3Q14)

BOBJ launched NFC payment and LBS coupon recommendation in Xiaomi cellphones. Xiaomi is a leading smartphone manufacturer
offering cost-effective smartphones and their inhouse-designed cellphone operating system. Xiaomi also aims to develop its own
ecosystem similar to Apple’s such as APPs, payment tools, etc.
We believe Xiaomi could help BOBJ improve the user experience of its NFC-wallet application and introduce Xiao’mi clients who may
quickly embrace new payment tools.
We believe the LBS coupon application (Location Based Services) could be a value-added service, albeit very new. The success or
otherwise of its further implementation remains to be seen.

BOBJ direct bank model combines offline non-manual outlets offering bankcard issuance, video face-to-face interview and 24/7 services
with online banking services and leverages the experience of ING Direct bank. Its board approved the setting up an individual company
for the direct bank.
CNCB: actively developing mobile code payment and POS loan; strategy unproven
CBCB has been actively developing mobile code payment products and new SME loans named POS loans. However, we believe the
effectiveness of this new strategy remains to be seen especially after CNCB changed its President in May 2014.
We think CNCB is at some long-term risks of being marginalized in consumer banking and SME banking, given its relatively weak franchise,
and that its initiatives may not be sufficient enough to change this.


CNCB launched its code payment app named Cyber Payment in 2013 which supports several offline and online payment scenarios in
both PC and mobile banking. However, we believe its payment scenarios are weaker than BAT and could face regulatory uncertainty
after PBOC halted code payment.

It also launched online POS loan products targeting on small and micro merchants based on the data mining of POS data.
CNCB select POS merchants by data mining POS transaction data bought from UnionPay and then market their SME working capital
loan products to those selected merchants. The selected merchants can apply for loans online within several hours and CNCB will
quickly decide loan approval/quota based on their risk management programs, POS flow, ID and entity data. For post- loan management,
CNCB monitors POS transaction data and updates its risk programs per two months. This POS loan, launched in 2013, earns c.12%
loan yield with less than 1% NPL ratio and about Rmb 900mn loan balance as of 1H14.
We appreciate its innovation and good utilization of data mining for SME loans. However, we note that as the POS data cooperation with
UnionPay is non-exclusive, the entry barrier is low and hence the model has been duplicated by many peers already.
SPDB: early mover in NFC with China Mobile but user experience remains a key issue
SPDB is the NFC payment early mover with over 1.2mn NFC cards issued as of year-end 2013, cooperating with its shareholder China
Mobile. The NFC chip is embedded in China Mobile’s SIM card rather than in the cellphone (as per the ApplePay and CMB models).
However, our tests suggest that its NFC product has more complicated process than CMB/ApplePay, for instance, users have to go to China
Mobile outlets to apply NFC-SIM card and sign-off. As such, we believe SPDB will need to improve its user experience in NFC payment
services.
We also believe its NFC payment service may not be sufficient to offset its weak retail, SME banking franchise, IT capability and
management incentives in enhancing competitiveness as it faces the threat coming from internet players and other banks.
