Recently, the 2.8 billion fixed deposit of Jimin Trust Group and the nearly 300 million yuan fixed deposit of the listed company Keyuan Wisdom have aroused widespread concern. On December 7, the relevant person in charge of the CbRC said in an interview with CCTV that for the case of the pledge of acceptance bills of deposit of individual commercial banks, the CBRC had dispatched a supervision working group to carry out on-site investigation and supervision for the first time in the early stage, and required the head office of the bank involved to enter the relevant branches at the same time to carry out a comprehensive risk investigation of the relevant bill business. The regulatory authorities are stepping up the work of determining the facts of violations and solidifying evidence.
The person in charge said that the next step will be to do a good job in administrative punishment and accountability of the institutions involved in accordance with laws and regulations, and urge institutions to speed up the repair of management defects and loopholes, and establish a compliance business philosophy. At the same time, the regulatory authorities will work with relevant departments to jointly increase the crackdown and correction of violations of laws and regulations in the financial industry, maintain a good financial order, and guard the "money bags" of the people.
On October 23, two subsidiaries of Jimin Credible Group claimed that a deposit of 2.8 billion yuan in the Nanjing branch of Bohai Bank unknowingly provided a loan pledge guarantee for an unrelated company, Huaye Petrochemical. After unsuccessful negotiations with the bank, Jimin Credible reported to the police on September 3. Subsequently, Bohai Bank said in a statement that the Nanjing branch found abnormal behavior between enterprises and had reported the case to the public security organs and sought a judicial solution according to law.
On November 15, Nanjing Keyuan Wisdom, a listed company, issued an announcement that nearly 300 million yuan of deposits deposited in the Nantong branch of Shanghai Pudong Development Bank had been pledged to an unrelated third party without its knowledge, and Keyuan Wisdom had called the police. On the same day, SPDB responded that while carrying out investigations, the Nantong branch also made a criminal report to the public security organs.
These two cases of pledged acceptance bills of deposit between banks and corporate customers have attracted widespread attention. On November 19, the spokesman of the China Banking and Insurance Regulatory Commission responded for the first time that it attaches great importance to this and has asked the relevant banking and insurance regulatory bureaus to form a working group to enter the bank to carry out on-site investigation. If the investigation finds that the bank has violated the rules, it will be severely punished and held accountable in accordance with laws and regulations. If the investigation discovers suspected illegal or criminal acts, it will be transferred to the judicial organs for handling in accordance with law. The parties involved in the case have also reported the case to the public security organs, and the investigation and handling of the case is being carried out.
