BEIJING, Nov. 28, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Pintec Technology Holdings Ltd. ("Pintec"; NASDAQ: PT), a leading independent fintech solutions provider, today announced a strategic alliance with Industrial and Commercial Bank of China (ICBC) to jointly leverage financial technologies to improve the efficiency of lending services for small and micro-sized enterprises (SMEs).
ICBC is one of China's "Big Four" state-owned commercial banks and the world's largest bank and public company by total assets.
