Major State-Owned Banks Resume Issuing 5-Year Jumbo CDs at 1.6% as Net Interest Margins Stabilize

Major state-owned banks, including Bank of China, have resumed issuing five-year jumbo certificates of deposit (CDs) with an annualized rate of 1.6%, higher than the 1.3% on regular five-year deposits. The CDs offer higher yields, better liquidity with partial early withdrawal and transferability, and a minimum purchase of 200,000 yuan. The move comes as net interest margins stabilize, allowing banks to accommodate higher-cost liabilities.

12 FTZ Offshore Bonds Issued Since Restart, Totaling RMB 4.3 Billion

Since the restart in June 2025, 12 FTZ offshore bonds totaling about RMB 4.3 billion have been issued by overseas branches of Chinese financial institutions, with all issuers and investors offshore. The bonds are mainly RMB-denominated with rates between 1.6% and 1.9%, well below major international currencies. The market was halted earlier due to domestic focus but restarted under the 'both ends outside' principle. Future expansion targets 'going out' and Belt and Road enterprises.

Banks Close WeChat Mini-Programs, Integrate Into Mobile Banking to Cut Costs and Mitigate Risks

Multiple Chinese banks have closed WeChat mini-programs and consolidated functions into unified mobile banking apps to reduce costs and address risks. The move follows regulatory guidance from September 2024 and a July 2026 draft code for financial industry cybersecurity. Many mini-programs overlapped with mobile banking functions and posed data privacy risks, with several apps cited for illegal data collection. Competition is shifting from channel quantity to quality, as usage of main mobile banking apps has declined.
