Active finance irrigates the nation's fertile ground -- Bank of Gansu (02139) Jiuquan Branch empowers high-quality development in ethnic minority regions

In western Jiuquan, Gansu, the grasslands of the northern Mongol Autonomous County and the Aksai Kazakh Autonomous County intersect brilliantly. As a frontier force for the Bank of Gansu (02139), which is deeply involved in ethnic regions, serving the real economy, and helping people thrive, Bank of Gansu Jiuquan Branch has always focused on its main business, accurately dripping characteristic industries with financial activity, and using inclusive services to warm thousands of households. In the practice of serving national strategies, promoting national unity, and promoting frontier prosperity, it has written a moving chapter in financial reporting to the country in the new era.

Solve the “last mile” problem, and mobile services jointly draw a “concentric circle”

The vast geographical area and scattered population were once a bottleneck limiting the upgrading of financial services in ethnic minority regions. The Jiuquan branch of the Bank of Gansu “actively sank” to break through financial service blockages. In response to the practical difficulties of workers in the Mazongshan mining area in northern Jiangsu and border highway builders to get a card from the county, the Subei branch set up a “mobile financial service team” to drive deep into the front line of the project, work breaks, and meal times are their “business hours”. In total, it has provided convenient services for more than 3,000 first-line builders to ensure accurate and direct payment of wages. Faced with the scattered living characteristics of herdsmen, the Subei branch of the Bank of Gansu and the Aksai branch adapted to local conditions, formed a “Party Member Pastoral Service Commando”, followed the herdsmen's transition footprints, set up temporary service points at summer ranches and winter settlements, handled basic financial services for more than 800 herders in both regions in the two regions, and delivered “reassurance cards” for receiving subsidies and daily payments to herdsmen, effectively solving the pain points of people in remote pastoral areas who “run long distances and have trouble applying for cards”. “Bank of Gansu's service is really good. It used to take a day to get a subsidy, but now with the card in hand, the money 'swoosh' arrives, which is so convenient!” Hajibek, a herder from Aleteng Township in Aksai County, said with joy. The simple smiles of the herdsmen are the best compliment for the service.

Focus on industrial development and activate “new momentum” for development with accurate drip irrigation

Branches in the two regions are well aware that a prosperous industry means a prosperous county and a prosperous people. The Subei branch and Aksai branch of the Bank of Gansu accurately grasped the pulse of the “mining and animal husbandry” industry in the two places and strengthened the chain with financial strength.

The Subei branch accurately met the needs of industrial upgrading. When it learned that a local high-value-added refractory manufacturer had encountered a liquidity bottleneck in its transformation, the branch efficiently assessed and reviewed, and promptly invested 10 million yuan in working capital loans to effectively support the enterprise's technology upgrades and raw material reserves. “This loan from the Bank of Gansu not only provided financial support, but also the most solid support for our transformation.” The words of the head of the company were filled with gratitude. The Aksai branch also continued to expand its services to mining areas, villages, and towns. Faced with a dairy cow cooperative in trouble due to a shortage of feed procurement funds, the branch quickly matched the “small and micro e-loan” products, and 200,000 yuan of credit funds were quickly put in place, solving the cooperative's urgent needs and stabilizing the livelihoods of herders. Precise financial drip irrigation has stabilized the development of specialty industries such as lamb and stone in Aksai.

The Zhitong Finance App learned that in the past three years, the two branches have invested a total of nearly 400 million yuan in loans. In the past, it was difficult to obtain loans due to lack of guarantees, but now, with the support of information technology, it is possible to quickly apply for low-interest funds, greatly enhancing the confidence and ambition of the two regions to develop characteristic industries.

Establish a solid foundation for development and water the nation's “unity flower” with active financial resources

Serving ethnic regions is not only business development, but also a heavy responsibility and mission.

The Aksai branch of the Bank of Gansu is deeply concerned. Financial services need to “follow the customs”. During traditional ethnic festivals such as the Nawrezi Festival and the Gurban Festival, branch employees spend the holidays with people of all ethnic groups, use bilingual languages to carry out financial knowledge promotion activities, and have a close “banking group” relationship in silence, making the Bank of Gansu a financial bridge and heart-warming window to promote national unity and serve people of all ethnic groups.

The brightly lit night at the Subei branch of the Bank of Gansu was a witness of all employees fighting all night to ensure accurate and timely payment of employee allowances throughout the county. They gave up reuniting with their families, meticulously checked information and operated efficiently to ensure that the Party's warmth reached the public as soon as possible through the Bank of Gansu.

Along the way, Bank of Gansu Jiuquan Branch has always been close to the public with true feelings, measured people's sentiment with footsteps, and extended the reach of inclusive finance to every corner of mining communities and pastoral farms with professional and accurate empowerment. In the future, these two financial pioneers rooted in ethnic minority regions will continue to adhere to the political and popular nature of financial work, enable the upgrading of characteristic industries, enhance people's livelihood and welfare, promote the prosperity and stability of the frontier, and contribute a steady stream of financial strength to the common prosperity and long-term stability of the Jiuquan ethnic minority region, so that the flowers of national unity and progress can flourish.
