Financial services orientation

  1. Map the regulated activity: payments, lending, wealth, banking services, or pure tech.
  2. Entity and licence strategy — a WFOE alone is often not enough.
  3. Consumer finance and online lending rules; marketing restrictions.
  4. Data, KYC, and cybersecurity overlays for financial data.
  5. Contract and dispute design with PRC enforceability in mind.

Key PRC sources (illustrative)

  • Law of the PRC on Commercial Banks / banking supervision rules — deposit-taking and bank services perimeter.
  • Anti-Money Laundering Law of the PRC (rev. 2024) — KYC, reporting, and institutional duties.
  • Cybersecurity Law / Personal Information Protection Law — financial data and critical information systems.
  • PBOC / NFRA (former CBIRC) rules on non-bank payment institutions and consumer finance — licensing and marketing limits.
