Introducing Chained Finance

First Blockchain Platform for Supply Chain Finance

Dianrong and FnConn recently announced the market launch of Chained Finance, the first-ever blockchain platform for supply chain finance.

The new platform leverages advanced financial technology to meet the hugely underserved needs of supply chain finance in China.

Supply chain finance companies have been limited by existing technology and, to date, have only served about 15 percent of suppliers needing financial resources. As a result, the vast majority of the 40 million SMEs in China remain unserved.
Chained Finance enables supply chain finance to deliver needed capital to smaller supply chain suppliers and provide large multinational manufacturers with enhanced visibility and transparency.

Chained Finance is initially targeting three major industries: electronics, auto and garment manufacturing.

This new platform is expected to help supply chain finance operators potentially triple the number of SME supply chain operators with access to funding in China.

In Focus

Blockchain

l At Dianrong, compliance and transparency are part of the company’s DNA. Blockchain is a new and powerful technology that facilitates secure online transactions and presents limitless opportunities, especially within fintech.

Basically, blockchain is a decentralized digital ledger that records transactions across many computers and registered transactions within the blockchain cannot be changed or deleted.
This provides clear and robust verification and auditing of all transactions.

Dianrong is a leading proponent of blockchain technology, as evidenced by our participation in the Hyperledger project, which we were the first Chinese P2P company to join in December 2016.

At Dianrong, compliance and transparency are part of the company’s DNA. This is why the company is integrating blockchain technology across its entire platform.
