In response to the recent outbreak of "im.B lending platform" involving fraud, the director of the Bank, Zhuang Xiuyuan, explained the recent handling of reports from the victimized investors and the attitude of the Financial Supervisory Commission.

Zhuang Xiuyuan said that we have successively received reports from investors in this case on April 27 and 28, and the Banking Bureau is ready to transfer them for investigation. Criminal law; after the transfer, it will depend on the needs of the prosecution and investigation, and we will cooperate with the investigation and investigation.

According to Article 29, Item 1 of the "Banking Law", "Unless otherwise provided by law, non-banks shall not operate deposit collection, entrust management of trust funds, public property, or conduct domestic foreign exchange business."

Zhuang Xiuyuan pointed out that the investor reported the suspected "high interest rate and false creditor's rights" in this case. In the past, we also received reports of violations of the banking law, such as illegal underground exchange or illegal money absorption, etc. We will transfer them for investigation.

Does the FSC currently know the amount of fraud involved in the "im.B lending platform"?

Zhuang Xiuyuan responded that it is still impossible to grasp, because there are only sporadic complaints and reports, and some investors have said, and some have not said how much investment they have.

How to strengthen the management of banks and P2P platforms?

Zhuang Xiuyuan said that the Association of Banks has established self-regulatory norms, that is, to regulate the exchanges between banks and P2P lending platforms; in fact, banks and business operators also follow the norms.

However, Zhuang Xiuyuan also admitted that sometimes the business projects of these P2P platform operators may not be fully disclosed to the banks, making it impossible for the banking industry to really grasp them during KYC (knowing customers), and they did not find out during follow-up monitoring. The P2P platform is regarded as a general customer (this is the case for the im.B lending platform).
