At a critical juncture where macroeconomic transformation converges with the digital wave, a central issue has emerged: how can finance precisely serve the real economy and help small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) overcome growth bottlenecks? As the lifeblood of economic activity, the efficiency of the financial system directly impacts industrial prosperity and social welfare. However, traditional financial models often struggle with information asymmetry, protracted processes, and complex risk management when serving SMEs, resulting in the chronic challenge of “expensive, slow, and inaccessible” financing. In this context, the deep integration of industry and finance has become a vital driver of high-quality economic development. Agree Technology Co., Ltd., leveraging its profound fintech heritage and innovative practices, has developed an Industrial Finance Service Platform that offers a strategic solution to these challenges.

The platform adopts the Bank-as-a-Service (BaaS) philosophy, seamlessly embedding banking products and services into partner ecosystems such as e-commerce platforms and industry-specific applications. This innovative model transcends the limitations of traditional physical branches and fixed channels, allowing financial services to permeate diverse scenarios via Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) modules. Consequently, banking services can precisely target the actual needs of enterprises, significantly enhancing both the coverage and efficiency of financial support.

Robust foundational capabilities are the bedrock of the platform’s stability. It features core functionalities including account management, payment initiation, open data exchange, and partner-facing capabilities. Within its proprietary platform ecosystem, Agree Technology integrates financial product collaboration with fintech innovation, delivering bespoke financial solutions through personalized APIs and SDKs. On the open platform ecosystem level—orchestrated by the government and involving banks, enterprises, and public agencies—resources are aggregated to provide SMEs with a diversified portfolio of financial products, helping them break through traditional financing barriers.

This platform represents more than a simple combination of finance and industry; it is a deep fusion that creates a synergistic, self-sustaining development ecosystem. By utilizing standard foundational and partner APIs, the platform facilitates the sharing of banking information across the corporate value chain, integrating with systems such as Finance, ERP, and Supply Chain Management (SCM). This effectively eliminates “information silos,” allowing financial services to flow seamlessly within enterprise operations to meet the multifaceted needs of corporate clients.

In terms of service functionality, the platform offers a comprehensive suite of standardized microservice components. Financing components cover the entire lifecycle, including credit granting, credit drawdown (utilization), and post-loan management. Account and settlement components provide standardized funds clearing and management, aggregating multiple payment channels to offer a unified user experience. Furthermore, the platform features a “Fintech Marketplace” to host standardized financial products for both individuals and businesses. Multi-channel portals, including Mini-programs and mobile APPs, ensure that users can access services anytime, helping banks broaden their customer reach.

To ensure peak operational efficiency, the platform has established five key mechanisms:

• Government-Bank-Enterprise Interaction: Facilitates real-time policy release, interpretation, and digital application processing.
• Ecosystem Collaboration: Focuses on industry-finance matchmaking within industrial parks, fostering community-based bank-enterprise cooperation.
• Enterprise Empowerment: Guided by industrial policy, it utilizes policy-based financing guarantees and “enterprise cloudification” to enhance fund transparency and corporate growth.
• Transparency & Credibility: Ensures fair approval processes for financial products and conducts performance evaluations to boost service trust.
• Open Banking Ecosystem: Promotes API integration for corporate applications and maintains an open banking directory to track fund flows, building a sustainable cooperation model.

Aligned with the mandates for high-quality economic development, Agree Technology’s Industrial Finance Service Platform provides a practical blueprint for deep industry-finance integration. It is set to play a pivotal role in empowering the real economy, accelerating industrial upgrades, and spearheading financial innovation.
