Abstract

Since 2005, CD Finance has become the leading microcredit company continuously driven by the mission to address poverty alleviation and village vitalization issues through a commercial approach. By the end of 2020, CD Finance had accumulatively disbursed over RMB 74 billion Yuan loans to millions of low and mid-income customers in rural China who otherwise did not have access to formal loans. To better serve rural households and businesses, its services have expanded beyond microcredit to a package of comprehensive services, including agricultural input supply, agricultural product procurement, and agricultural technical assistance. CD Finance has helped millions of rural people at the bottom of the pyramid increase income, weather shocks, pursue opportunities, and live a better life. In China’s microfinance industry, where many players are driven purely by commercial profits and deviate from serving microentrepreneurs, CD Finance is a rare example that keeps mission firmly in mind and pursues long-term value instead of short-term profit. The concern for rural customers is a part of the company’s DNA.
