China Launches New System for Credit Records


China's central bank on Sunday launched a new system to better disclose credit records of both individuals and enterprises.



The new system will provide more details on an individuals credit status in a better format, such as co-borrowing records and loan repayment records, according to the People's Bank of China (PBOC).


The system update, reflecting recent developments in financial technologies, came in response to increased public demand for more effective credit information and service improvement, said the PBOC.


Other details to be added to the individual's credit report include: employment status, nationality, and credit agreement information. For enterprises, inquirers will be able to obtain further information such as revolving overdraft and late payments.


The new system has also intensified the management and protection of user identity and information transmission to ensure information security, said the PBOC.


China first launched its credit record system in 2006. By the end of 2019, the system had kept records for more than 1 billion individuals as well as 28.34 million enterprises and organizations. Some 2.5 billion inquiries have been conducted with the system so far, according to the central bank.
