It is revealed that the Beijing Financial Bureau from the unit secondment of the members of the Internet financial risk special rectification group, also in the recent dissolution, "a wide range of special rectification even if the end. However, there will be a small scope of remediation checks."
Rectification requirements are relatively strict

However, the Notice of Rectification clearly stipulates that it is prohibited to set up risk deposit, reserve fund and provision fund to provide guarantee. This is a slap in the face for most platforms, and it alone will shut out most platforms.
In addition, the bank funds deposit, local financial bureau license and other issues are also a lot of platform pain, this rectification, is expected to eliminate many platforms.
Only 35 percent of the requested platforms were received
Although more than 150 platforms have received the corrective action Notice, only 35% of them have, and most have not received the relevant documents. By the end of March 2017, there were 435 P2P online lending platforms in normal operation in Beijing, according to Wangdaizhijia. In other words, in addition to the 153 platforms mentioned above, there are 282 P2P platforms in Beijing that have not received the rectification Notice.
However, some of the businesses of the platforms that have not received the rectification Notice are more complex and are not pure P2P platforms.
