（单词翻译:单击）

Webank is China's first Internet-based bank. Its establishment marks a major step in deepening reform in the financial sector¹, one that's being constantly transformed by the Internet.

Webank was approved by the country's regulators in July, 2014. Five months later, it was granted a banking² operation license³. And last month, its official website was launched, with just a simple QR code, so you can scan and open it on your smart phone. The online-only bank has a registered capital of three billion yuan, or around 480 million US dollars.

Tencent Holdings, which operates China's most popular online chatting service, is the largest shareholder⁴, while others include Shenzhen Baiyeyuan Investment and Shenzhen Liye Group. The bank will mainly focus on financial services, including deposit and loan services to individual consumers as well as micro- and small-sized enterprises rather than chasing big companies and people with big assets.
