Today marks the official launch of the island-wide customs closure for the Hainan Free Trade Port, a landmark initiative in China's commitment to expanding high-level openness and fostering an open global economy. ABC has focused on key areas, innovated cross-border financial service models, and strived to build a premium financial brand supporting the Hainan Free Trade Port, continuously injecting financial momentum into its development.
**Breakthroughs in Cross-Border Financial Innovation** **Activating New Growth Engines** ABC has consistently enhanced its cross-border financial service system, improved integrated multi-currency customer services, and actively participated in financial innovation pilots for the Hainan Free Trade Port. By facilitating trade and investment liberalization and convenience, ABC has positioned cross-border finance as an "accelerator" connecting Hainan to the global market, bolstering high-level openness.
**Action Plan for Hainan Free Trade Port Services** ABC has aligned its strategies with the policy advancements and financial needs of the Hainan Free Trade Port, introducing a cross-border financial action plan with supporting policies. Emphasizing customs closure operations, ABC has strengthened financial services for key industries and infrastructure, comprehensively upgrading cross-border and personalized financial solutions under the new framework.
**Building a Comprehensive Cross-Border Financial Account System** As one of the first financial institutions to launch the multi-functional Free Trade Account (EF Account) in Hainan, ABC leverages its innovative account advantages to provide seamless cross-border capital flow services for domestic and international enterprises. The bank has achieved breakthroughs in foreign exchange, deposits, loans, and other areas, processing over RMB 6.5 billion in EF Account transactions. This establishes a "four-in-one" financial account system for Hainan, integrating traditional, FT, EF, and multi-currency accounts.
**Strengthening Cross-Business Foundations** ABC's Hainan Branch has expanded its core cross-border financial operations and corporate client base, successfully implementing QFLP, QDLP, cross-border asset transfers, and other innovative financial services. It became the first bank in Hainan to partner with a cross-border capital operation center, pioneering transactions such as "FTE + FTN" cross-border M&A loans, single-window international letters of credit, new offshore trade, and RMB-denominated ship leasing, laying a solid client foundation for Hainan's open economy.
**Enhancing Collaborative Services** Leveraging its full licensing, extensive network, and multi-channel advantages, ABC has prioritized Hainan in its group-wide service strategy. Through cross-regional and inter-departmental collaboration, branches in the Greater Bay Area, Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei, Yangtze River Delta, and Yangtze Economic Belt work with Hainan Branch to provide comprehensive services for domestic and international investors. In September 2025, ABC Financial Leasing and ABC Hainan jointly facilitated Hainan’s first helicopter leasing deal in Haikou Comprehensive Bonded Zone, injecting new momentum into the local low-altitude economy.
**Focusing on Key Industries** **Upgrading Financial Services for the Real Economy** ABC has consistently strengthened financial support for Hainan’s real economy, issuing differentiated policy lists for five consecutive years to bolster product innovation, credit support, and resource allocation, ensuring financial resources flow precisely to vital economic sectors.
**Boosting Financial Supply for Modern Industries** ABC supports Hainan’s "4+3+3" modern industrial system, providing sustained financial impetus for tourism, modern services, high-tech industries, and tropical agriculture. Tailored "one-park-one-policy" services cover all 13 key industrial parks, with loans exceeding RMB 33 billion for these sectors. By November 2025, aviation and airport-related loans surpassed RMB 4 billion, while leasing loans exceeded RMB 6 billion.
**Empowering High-Quality Development of New Productive Forces** ABC aligns with Hainan’s push for advanced productivity, launching tech-financial products like "Kejie Loan" and partnering with Wenchang International Aerospace City as the first state-owned bank in commercial space launch financing. High-tech industry loans exceeded RMB 3.8 billion, with grain security and seed industry loans growing by 81% and 280%, respectively, enhancing support for key seed enterprises.
**Facilitating Overseas Consumption Repatriation** As a platinum partner for the Consumer Expo for three consecutive years, ABC has prioritized payment convenience to boost consumption, creating a seamless cross-border payment ecosystem. In healthcare, it supports Boao Lecheng International Medical Tourism Pilot Zone, financing advanced medical equipment and embedding financial services into healthcare consumption. For education, ABC expands "smart campus" and "smart canteen" solutions, offering cross-border study-life financial products to build a full-cycle service system, aiding Hainan’s emergence as an education hub.
At this new historical juncture, ABC remains committed to optimizing financial services for the Hainan Free Trade Port, integrating deeply into its development, and contributing robust financial support to its high-standard construction.
