Suzhou bank is responsible for the implementation of the platform system. According to wang lanfeng, chairman of suzhou bank, the platform makes full use of the Internet and big data technology and adopts the service mode of "online + offline".

On the other hand, let enterprises restrain the behavior of 'excessive investment, excessive credit granting and excessive guarantee' through consultation. At present, taizhou has established a joint consultation mechanism for 36 enterprises with a total credit amount of over 1 billion yuan, and has made great achievements in helping some enterprises by category.
