Leave a comment

Technology enables Bairong to maintain its leading service position, driving the upgrade of the financial services industry

BEIJING, July 26, 2021 — Bairong Inc ("Bairong", 6608.HK), a leading independent AI-powered technology platform in China, has officially released its inaugural 2020 Environmental, Social and Governance Report ("the Report"). The Report outlines Bairong’s initiatives and investments across six sections: Corporate Governance, Technological Innovation, Customer Service, Talent Development, Green Development, and Giving Back to Society.

Committed to the concept of "Technology for Good," the Report highlights Bairong’s significant investment in technology innovation in 2020. Its AI Finance Lab successfully developed an intelligent outbound call-making robot and an automatic machine learning platform; while its Financial Big Data Research Center released a timely research report titled, "The Chinese Economy During the COVID-19 Pandemic".

On the technology front, Bairong also developed core systems and explored new frontiers for specific financial scenarios. To address the shortage of AI talent and difficulties in AI application development, Bairong established its ORCA Automatic Machine Learning Platform, which has halved the length of the modeling-to-deployment cycle. Furthermore, its new Intelligent Customer Service System helps financial institutions reduce costs and improve efficiency and the Intelligent Risk Control Middle Platform assists banks and other traditional financial institutions to achieve digital transformation and innovation in risk control.

In addition, the Report demonstrates Bairong’s ongoing investment in R&D. In 2020, the company obtained 18 intellectual property rights pertaining to data insight, federated machine learning, risk control cloud platforms, business intelligence (BI) analysis and model monitoring — bringing its total IP count close to 100.

Complementing its technological achievements, the Report reveals how Bairong’s latest product and service innovations assist financial institutions to provide consumers with better financial services and a better experience. The full life-cycle intelligent risk management and precision marketing solutions support improved front-end marketing and customer acquisition with pre-lending fraud prevention, dynamic early warning during lending, and post-lending full process services. Last year also saw Bairong optimize its customer feedback mechanism with nine operating management principles and Customer Feedback Handling Procedures to ensure quality service and timely responses to feedback.

With a commitment to enhancing its positive influence on society, the 2020 ESG Report underscores the role Bairong plays in social responsibility. Recognizing that risk control is becoming more challenging for financial institutions, Bairong’s new intelligent risk control system helps financial institutions package back-end resources so they can be harnessed to reduce business risk at the front end. The system can be used in a variety of risk control scenarios such as anti-fraud, risk assessment, risk warning, and post-loan management.

The Report also covers Bairong’s continued efforts of improving its corporate governance structure in 2020 to continuously improve efficiency, manage risk control levels, and prevent compliance risk. In response to the pandemic, the company established a new risk identification and management process in response to emerging risks such as extreme weather, human environmental damage, infectious diseases and internet security. In tandem, new Compliance Risk Management Measures ensure Bairong is able to realize efficient identifications in risk management and maintain operating management and performance in accordance with laws, regulations and standards.

Furthering its commitment to a sustainable future, the 2020 ESG report outlines Bairong’s continued commitment to green development. By assisting in the digital transformation of the financial services industry, Bairong is actively supporting reduced energy and resource consumption across the globe. Meanwhile, the company has introduced key initiatives to reduce its own environmental impact, including green offices, green procurement processes, and green data centers.

Giant pandas ‘downgraded’: A wildlife success story

Leave a comment

BEIJING, July 23, 2021 — A news report by China.org.cn on China’s wildlife protection:

 

Pandas must be quite familiar to you all. But it has recently been "downgraded".

However, this isn’t bad news. With more than 1,800 giant pandas now living in the wild, China has downgraded the animal’s status from "endangered" to "vulnerable." Back in 1988, the population of wild giant pandas in China was just 1,114.

Boosting the population by more than 60% has been no easy task. The protection of giant pandas requires extensive research and surveying, which cannot be done from inside an office. Rangers in nature reserves need to conduct habitat and bamboo surveys, as well as collect panda droppings in the field. Leaving early in the morning for work and returning late at night after walking dozens of kilometers along mountain paths, these have become their daily routines. But merely protecting animals themselves is not enough. Habitat contraction and falling bamboo yields due to monocarpic flowering and climate change all threaten the survival of giant pandas. Therefore, habitat conservation and reconstruction of bamboo forests are also essential tasks. Thanks to years of efforts, China has become well acquainted with the habits of giant pandas and developed more accurate survey and statistical methods. More than 60 nature reserves have been established to expand their habitats.

In recent years, China has made notable progress in protecting wildlife, especially rare and endangered species. The number of the previously critically endangered crested ibis has increased from just seven in 1981 to several thousand; the Chinese mountain cat, one of the rarest and most mysterious cat species, was spotted in Qilian Mountain National Park in Qinghai province; rufous-necked hornbills reappeared in the mountain forests of Yunnan province after disappearing for decades.

More recently, news stories about wildlife have captured public attention. While a herd of wild Asian elephants migrated northward, authorities redirected them away from densely populated areas using tempting snacks and roadblocks, and have started work on building an Asian elephant national park; multiple measures were taken to rescue melon-headed whales stranded in shallow waters; authorities restricted boat activities to protect a Bryde’s whale foraging in the waters off Shenzhen. These examples of wildlife conservation demonstrate the harmonious coexistence of human beings and animals.

To promote human progress while ensuring the survival of wildlife, we need to strike a harmonious and delicate balance. With continued efforts, more and more cute wild animals like giant pandas will appear all over the world.

Citi Commercial Bank Digitizes Account Opening for New Clients

Leave a comment

With the launch of a digital Gateway portal in four markets, Citi Commercial Bank (CCB) has opened over 750 accounts digitally for new clients

Through Gateway and CitiDirect BE® Digital Onboarding – Citi’s digital account opening solution for existing clients – CCB accounts can be opened in as quickly as three days

SINGAPORE, July 21, 2021 — Citi Commercial Bank (CCB), Citi’s business which serves emerging corporate clients with revenues of up to US$1 billion annually, has introduced digital account opening for new clients in Australia, Hong Kong, India and Singapore. Through its new Commercial Bank Gateway Portal, CCB has opened over 750 accounts digitally for new-to-bank clients in these markets.

The launch of Gateway complements the bank’s CitiDirect BE® Digital Onboarding solution, which supports digital account opening for existing clients and is available to clients across 10 markets in the region. Through Gateway and CitiDirect BE® Digital Onboarding, close to 70% of CCB’s total account opening volumes in Asia Pacific are now achieved through digital channels. Accounts can be opened digitally in as quickly as three days.

For new clients, the web-based Gateway portal replaces paper-based documentation, eliminates the need for repetitive data entry and enables new clients to digitally complete their Know Your Customer (KYC) requirements. Electronic signatures are also used to facilitate the execution of documents digitally. In addition to digital account opening, Gateway will be further built out to support lending and portfolio management services.

Clients will be able to initiate loan requests and complete credit inquiry forms through the portal which will also push real-time status updates throughout the loan fulfillment process. Supporting client operations, the portal will also serve as a platform through which clients can upload and supply information to Citi and periodically review their existing positions with the bank.

Ankit Parasher, Director of SALT, a Citi client and a provider of cross-border trade banking and payment solutions, said, "The onboarding process using Gateway was intuitive and remarkably simple. Being able to easily download contract documents and then upload signed documents was a game-changer. As we continue to partner Citi for our banking needs, this will make it much easier for us to manage accounts across multiple countries."

"Having a robust digital-first strategy is the only way that we can serve our clients with agility and speed on the back of the ongoing pandemic. Through the launch of Gateway, clients now can be onboarded anytime, anywhere, at their convenience, enabling us to seamlessly support their operational needs in this fast-changing environment. Looking ahead, Citi Commercial Bank is committed to continue investing in digital solutions and capabilities to elevate the experience of our clients from end-to-end," said Lin Hsiu-Yi, ASEAN Head of Citi Commercial Bank.

Last year, CCB piloted an AI-enabled credit underwriting tool, AI. Sight, to support credit processes and review. The tool, which has shortened CCB’s credit review and approval process, enables the business to prioritize yet streamline due diligence efforts while mitigating new credit portfolio risks that have emerged out of the pandemic.  

Using Optical Character Recognition (OCR) and machine learning models, the tool auto-scans credit documents, including bank statements, and is able to flag irregularities and abnormal loan utilization. Based on the data, it can identify trends and compute relevant metrics required to make credit approval decisions.

Since it was first piloted in Hong Kong, AI. Sight has been launched in India and with plans for Mainland China next.

Citi Commercial Bank Asia Pacific operates in 11 markets in Asia Pacific and contributes around a third of the bank’s global commercial banking revenues. In the first quarter of the year, the business recorded a double-digit increase in year-on-year revenue, buoyed by ongoing client activity. 

About Citi
Citi, the leading global bank, has approximately 200 million customer accounts and does business in more than 160 countries and jurisdictions. Citi provides consumers, corporations, governments and institutions with a broad range of financial products and services, including consumer banking and credit, corporate and investment banking, securities brokerage, transaction services, and wealth management.

Dynamic Solutions HK Limited Set to Trial Wireless Electric Car Charging

Leave a comment

HONG KONG, July 20, 2021 — Technology start-up Dynamic Solutions HK Limited has revealed it will begin trialling wireless charging devices that will charge electronic vehicles as they are parked. The innovative induction pads will be installed at the firms’ test center, with in-depth trials expected to start early next month.

David Zhongyi, who heads up the Investor Relations department at Dynamic Solutions HK Limited, said, "Our wireless electric vehicle charging pads will eliminate the need for large, unsightly charging points which are beginning to clutter our cities. The pads will be built into the ground, and they will pump out alternating ultrasonic waves that convert into electricity when the car is parked above."

Once the trials begin, Dynamic Solution HK Limited engineers will test the technology in various situations for speed, accuracy, and robustness through differing weather conditions. They will also test how easily the technology can be built into older electronic vehicles. 

"Electric Vehicle manufacturers are now incorporating induction charging technology with their new models; however, there is only a small number of induction-enabled electric vehicle charge points installed throughout Hong Kong at the moment. We are aiming to help change that here and throughout Asia," David Zhongyi continued.

Establishing more charging outlets has become a major requirement in recent years as the climate emergency continues to pressure local authorities. Despite this, the current infrastructure has been unable to meet the high demand for electric cars.

The limited supply of curbside charging stations for electric vehicles is causing rising concern. Residents say that the ones that have been installed are cluttering the streets and footpaths. They are also subject to vandalism and damage. All of these are issues that Dynamic Solutions HK Limited’s underground wireless charging pads do not have.

About
Since Dynamic Solutions HK Limited was created in 2012, the company has been investing in research and development that is paving the way for future technology and how we charge electronics. Our technology has been developed to use ultrasonic waves to charge electronic devices.

Huawei vows to empower ASEAN’s green development with digital power innovations

Leave a comment

KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia, July 16, 2021 — Global leading ICT technologies provider Huawei will leverage its digital power innovations to enable ASEAN’s cooperation on climate change and green development, said Jeffery Liu, President of Huawei Asia Pacific at the online ASEAN-China Digital Economy Development and Cooperation Forum 2021 on Friday.

Climate change and environmental issues are becoming global challenges. Though carbon emissions declined over the past year due to the economic slowdown and worldwide lockdowns, emissions are rapidly rebounding as economies reopen. Shifting to a circular economy and achieving sustainable development is now a common goal for all countries.

Potential climate change has a significant regional impact with six of the 20 most vulnerable countries in the world being ASEAN member states. ASEAN has taken actions to address climate change through various environmental, economic and social activities over the years. Thailand, for example, has set a target of reaching peak carbon emissions in 2030 and then achieving net zero emissions in 2065.

This morning Jeffery Liu, President of Huawei APAC, shared his vision for a green industrial revolution with carbon neutrality enabled by innovative technologies.
This morning Jeffery Liu, President of Huawei APAC, shared his vision for a green industrial revolution with carbon neutrality enabled by innovative technologies.

"Globally we need a green industrial revolution with the goal of carbon neutrality. As the digital economy grows, accelerating emission reduction could also help countries to manage the risk of trade barriers and secure more free trade agreements," said Jeffery Liu.

ICT technologies are important enablers of energy conservation and emissions reduction in other industries. It is estimated that the reduction in carbon emissions in other industries enabled by ICT technologies will be 10 times the amount of carbon emitted by the ICT industry itself.

"Huawei has been leveraging its extensive experience in power electronics and energy storage as well as technical expertise in 5G, cloud, and other innovative technologies, to develop its digital power business and provide digital power solutions for different industries," said the Huawei Asia Pacific President.

To promote renewable energy, Huawei has deployed its digital power solutions in more than 170 countries and regions, serving one third of the world’s population. As of December 2020, these solutions have generated 325 billion kWh of electricity from renewable sources, and saved a total of 10 billion kWh of electricity. These efforts have resulted in a reduction of 160 million tons in CO2 emissions.

In Singapore, for example, Huawei FusionSolar Solution has supported Sunseap Group, a solar energy solutions provider, to build one of world’s largest offshore floating Photovoltaic (PV) farms. With 13,312 solar panels, 40 inverters, and more than 30,000 floats, this five-hectare sea-based solar plant is estimated to produce up to 6,022,500 kWh of energy per year, supplying enough power for 1250 four-room public housing flats on the island and offsetting an estimated 4258 tons of carbon dioxide.

"Huawei is committed to promoting green integrated ICT solutions to help other industries conserve energy and cut emissions," said Jeffery Liu, "We will cooperate with ASEAN to minimize the carbon footprint by leveraging clean power generation, electric transportation, and smart energy storage, for an energy-efficient, eco-friendly low-carbon society."

About Huawei

Founded in 1987, Huawei is a leading global provider of information and communications technology (ICT) infrastructure and smart devices. We have more than 194,000 employees, and we operate in more than 170 countries and regions, serving more than three billion people around the world.

Our vision and mission is to bring digital to every person, home and organization for a fully connected, intelligent world. To this end, we will drive ubiquitous connectivity and promote equal access to networks; bring cloud and artificial intelligence to all four corners of the earth to provide superior computing power where you need it, when you need it; build digital platforms to help all industries and organizations become more agile, efficient, and dynamic; redefine user experience with AI, making it more personalized for people in all aspects of their life, whether they’re at home, in the office, or on the go.

HUMAN Expands Enterprise Protection from Sophisticated Bots and Automated Attacks With Newly Named BotGuard Solution

Leave a comment

Global Enterprises Choose HUMAN for Superior Protection of Digital Customer Experiences

SINGAPORE, July 16, 2021 — HUMAN Security, Inc. (formerly White Ops), a cybersecurity company that protects enterprises from bot attacks to keep digital experiences human, today announced its newly-named BotGuard and a range of new features to further help enterprise customers defend their website and mobile applications from sophisticated bot attacks and fraud.

BotGuard is powered by the Human Verification Engine™, which combines technical evidence, machine learning, and continuous adaptation to deliver "human or not" bot detection decisions with industry-leading accuracy. The Human Verification Engine uniquely verifies the humanity of 10 trillion interactions per week while also harnessing internet scale visibility and a decade of data to deliver continuously adaptive and mutually reinforcing protection to customers, including the largest internet platforms. In its report, The Forrester New Wave™: Bot Management, Q1 2020, Forrester recognized that HUMAN "leads the pack with robust threat intelligence, attack detection and vision."

"Enterprises find it increasingly difficult to defend websites and applications from sophisticated bots that can easily evade bot detection features in conventional security solutions that rely on behavioral monitoring or static lists, leaving your site and apps open to abuse," said Mike Aiello, Chief Product Officer at HUMAN. "The features we’re launching today as part of the newly named BotGuard further enhance our solution’s best-in-class accuracy and manageability to help organizations protect their web and mobile experiences."

"We’re hyper-focused on ensuring rich digital interactions with customers regardless of how often they’re traveling. Sophisticated bad bots get in the way, wasting resources meant for engaging our customers," said Neil Haskins, Head of Group IT Security, Seera. "With HUMAN, we were able to identify the sophisticated bot traffic threatening multiple brands’ account log-in and registration experiences and get deeper insights to stay ahead of threats. We like diverting investments from bad bot traffic and the bad actors behind it to our real human customers."

"Protecting our customers from automated fraud and abuse is key to ensuring a safe and trusted digital customer experience, which is key to our core business and growth strategy," said the Chief Product Officer at a global eCommerce company.  "HUMAN was able to detect and enable the blocking of bots that were not being caught by other bot mitigation solution vendors. In addition, HUMAN’s threat intelligence experts and customer support teams offer deep insights and continuous learning, ensuring we can stay ahead of emerging threats and bad actors."

The newly named BotGuard protects web and mobile applications from malicious scraping, account takeover, account creation fraud, and in-app content and experience abuse. The BotGuard solution adds new features to further strengthen bot detection accuracy and mitigation options, new integrations with leading edge and web server solutions to speed deployment and reduce implementation efforts, and new dashboarding features to enhance visualization and enable granular policy customization.

BotGuard enhancements include:

Detection – BotGuard continues to detect bots missed by leading CDN bot management features. In one case, up to 14% of a customer’s invalid traffic was sophisticated bot activity that passed through a CDN bot management product completely undetected. Enhancements include detection innovations to protect websites from automated content scraping and simplified deployment on single page apps.

Attack response – BotGuard integrates with industry-leading platforms to defend digital businesses using their existing best-of-breed solutions. Our enhanced integrations—including NGINX, Cloudflare, Fastly, AWS Cloudfront and Google Cloud Platform—speed deployment and reduce implementation efforts. BotGuard’s powerful custom response rules engine enables any customer defined response including CAPTCHA, step-up authentication, deception and the new HUMAN challenge checkbox.

Management and Reporting – BotGuard management enhancements include SAML support for single-sign-on and multi-user granular permissions to the API. Dashboard improvements include advanced visualizations, custom alerting configuration and custom data exports to create a HUMAN to customer feedback loop by integrating with SOC, SIEM and fraud team workflows.

Threat Research – HUMAN’s Satori Threat Intelligence and Research Team continues to take down multiple large-scale attack networks, proactively identifying and reverse engineering new threats to inform our detection techniques with new indicators against emerging attacks. Recent successes include Pareto where a 1 million node CTV botnet was taken down and the 3ve Methbot case that led to the successful prosecution of the criminal gang behind the operation.

HUMAN’s BotGuard is available now.

"depa Smart City Accelerator Program is the first of its kind in ASEAN that serves as a bridge to connect digital startups with demand for urban development. For this year’s smart city accelerator program, 25 digital startups that have been selected by the judge panel will have to attend an orientation workshop prior to taking action and working with representatives of cities that are slated for smart city development. They will acknowledge the on-site problems, factors, and inputs before coming up with solutions to those challenges using digital technologies and innovations to develop a smart city through the Proof of Concept (POC). The digital technologies and innovations will be leveraged to solve the right problems in five urban areas that received smart city promotion certificates and Thailand Smart City logo. Five projected smart cities are Samyan Neighborhood – Bangkok, Wangchan Valley – Rayong, Mae Mo District – Lampang, Khon Kaen and Phuket. They will be leveled up to be livable and safe cities with efficient waste and environmental management and modern infrastructure that can improve the quality of life of all residents in each smart city in the new-normal lifestyle after the end of the COVID-19 pandemic in order to move forward to becoming fully fledged smart cities," president/CEO of depa said.

Ms. Oranuch Lerdsuwankij, CEO and Co-Founder of Techsauce Media said the depa Smart City Accelerator Program BATCH 2 will provide participating Thai digital startups with valuable knowledge and good experience through taking action in the real-world experiment and development by working collaboratively with experts and relevant agencies to develop smart cities. The smart city accelerator program will present them with opportunities to expand their businesses to tap customers in the public and private sectors. It is a bridge linking investors and business partners as it helps improve the image and reputation of Thailand’s digital industry in the region. Techsauce Media highly hopes that this landmark collaboration will play a vital role in driving smart urban development and efficiently improving the quality of life of the public. Techsauce Media would like to thank depa for all support and partners in the public and private sectors for cooperation to move forward the depa Smart City Accelerator Program to attain the central goals and objectives as planned.

The digital-driven solutions and work of digital startups that will be used in smart city development under the depa Smart City Accelerator Program will be exhibited on the depa Accelerator Demo Day online showcase program.
