In the past more than ten years, the disintermediation wave struck the whole society. Especially when some non-financial enterprises used the mobile internet technology to infiltrate into the financial field rapidly, the internet finance was born. This new business gave birth to the new environment and pattern of the non-bank payment and financing intermediary so that the traditional banking was challenged seriously.
The case was co-written by Professor Zhu Xiaoming, Case Writer Zhu Qiong and Research Assistant Ni Yingzi of CEIBS. During the writing, they also obtain cooperation and support from ICBC. The case’s purpose is to be used as the material for the class discussion and it doesn’t indicate whether the case mentioned here is effective or not.

PB is a unit of data storage capacity, which is equal to 250 bytes or about 1000 TB in numerical value. TB is a unit of storage capacity in computer, and it is equal to 240 or nearly 1 trillion bytes. Raymond Kurzweil, futurist, extends the PB’s definition: the human being’s functional memory capacity is estimated to be 1.25 TB, which means that 800 human being’s memories is only equal to 1 PB.
