China Finance Announces New Agreements with China Construction Bank
NEW YORK andSHENZHEN, China, Sept. 5 /Xinhua-PRNewswire/ -- China Finance,
Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: CHFI), a provider of financial support and services
forChina's large and rapidly expanding class of small and medium enterprises
("SMEs"), today announced that China Finance's wholly-owned operating
subsidiary, Shenzhen Hua Yin Guaranty and Investment Limited Liability
Corporation ("SHY") has entered into a Memo of Bank-Guaranty Cooperation and a
Guaranty Cooperation Agreement with China Construction Bank,Shenzhen Branch
("CCB") on September 1, 2008. These agreements allow SHY to act as loan
guarantor on loans from CCB, one of the largest financial institutions in
China with over 13,000 branches, to SMEs on more favorable terms than many
other companies. China Finance's management believes that SHY's new
relationship with CCB will allow SHY to expand the geographic region where it
provides its loan guarantee services.
The agreements will permit SHY to act as a loan guarantor for loans from
CCB to SMEs while depositing only 20% of the loan amount with CCB as a
security deposit. The agreements further allow security deposits to be made
using domestic or foreign currency, which allows SHY to have more flexibility
to react to changing exchange rates. SHY's new relationship with CCB as a
result of the agreements gives it the status as a Cooperative Guarantee
Institution of CCB, which means that CCB will be more likely to make
introductions for SHY to serve as a loan guarantor. SHY expects its new
relationship with CCB to help expand the company's loan guarantee services
throughoutthe People's Republic of China, beyond the Chu Chiang Delta Area
(includingGuangxi,Guangdong,Hainan andFujian) where the company's efforts
are currently centered.
SHY has previously benefited from its close relationship with China
Industrial and Commercial Bank and expects that its new relationship with CCB
will allow for expansion of the loan guarantee segment of its business. Ms.
Ann Yu, CEO of China Finance, Inc. said, "China Construction Bank will be
another important cooperative partner for us, and we expect this new
relationship to help us expand the reach of our loan guarantee business."
