BEIJING, Nov. 7, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- China Internet Nationwide Financial Services Inc. (NASDAQ: CIFS) ("CIFS" or the "Company"), a leading financial advisory services company, today announced plans to make "FinTech" or financial technologies a core competency and a key growth driver for the Company's next phase of growth (the "FinTech Initiative"). FinTech is a portmanteau of technologies used and applied in the financial services sector, chiefly used by financial institutions on the back end of their businesses. The Company's FinTech Initiative specifically centers around the development of a big data platform that would allow the Company to leverage big data access, analytics, artificial intelligence ("AI") and machine learning in acquiring and retaining customers through precision marketing and effective risk control. The Company plans to fulfill the FinTech Initiative through a combination of key employee recruitment and targeted acquisitions.
This follows the Company's recent launch of supply chain financing services as it continues its quest to make CIFS a one-stop shop serving the financing and capital needs of SMEs in China. The Company is already in early discussions with several potential acquisition targets and is confident that a deal can be reached in early 2018, barring any unforeseen circumstances.
Mr. Jianxin Lin, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of CIFS, commented, "We are proud to have experienced significant growth and achieved many milestones in just over three years of our short operating history. Our recent Nasdaq listing and strong stock performance, up 289.5% (as of November 3, 2017) from the IPO, gave us tremendous attention and visibility and position us for our next phase of growth."
Mr. Lin continued, "As 2017 is poised to be another banner year for CIFS, we believe that CIFS is at the crossroads of transitioning from a traditional financial services company to one that leverages today's technology to break down traditional financial mainstays and provide innovative and competitive products and services."
