Qfin Holdings, Inc. operates as an AI empowered Credit Tech platform in the People's Republic of China. The company was formed in 2016 as a spin off from the 360 Group and began independent operations in July 2016. It conducts its business in China through variable interest entities (VIEs) and a wholly owned foreign enterprise (WFOE) structure that enables consolidation under US GAAP. Qfin Holdings, Inc. provides technology services that match borrowers with credit demand to financial institutions that have credit to supply. Its core offerings include credit driven services and platform services that support the full loan lifecycle from acquisition to collection.

By leveraging proprietary data analytics and machine learning models the company aims to make credit more accessible and personalized for consumers and small and medium sized enterprises. Qfin Holdings, Inc. maintains its principal executive offices in Shanghai and is listed on both the Nasdaq and the Hong Kong Stock Exchange.

Revenue is derived primarily from service fees charged to financial institution partners for loan facilitation, post facilitation and guarantee services under the credit driven services business. For loans funded by financial institution partners the company earns a fee that reflects the difference between the loan pricing set by the partner and a pre negotiated rate agreed upon with the partner. When loans are originated by the micro lending subsidiary Fuzhou Microcredit the company collects interest income from borrowers based on their credit profile and loan terms. Under the platform services arm which includes the capital light model Intelligence Credit Engine referral services and other technology solutions the company receives service fees from partners but does not retain credit risk on the facilitated loans. The capital light model generates income through fees paid by financial institution partners for technology enabled services such as borrower acquisition credit assessment and post facilitation monitoring. Intelligence Credit Engine provides intelligent marketing services to partners and earns fees based on a percentage of the loan pricing rate set by the partner. Referral services yield fees paid by other online lending companies for directing users that do not meet the partner credit criteria to those platforms. Other technology solutions comprise on premise deployed risk management SaaS and end to end technology solutions for which the company charges consulting or technology service fees. In addition the company reports guarantee liabilities for credit driven services and records related revenue from guarantee services when applicable.

The company does not report separate operating segments in its financial disclosures. All activities are managed as a single integrated business unit focused on Credit Tech services in China.
