Financial Lifeblood Nourishes Zhao Capital

Eighteen Years, a New Journey Begins

—Written on the 18th Anniversary of Postal Savings Bank of China Handan Branch

Eighteen years, in the long river of history, is just a flick of the finger, but for a city and a bank growing together, it is a glorious journey filled with honor.

On March 31, 2008, Postal Savings Bank of China Handan Branch was officially established. Bearing the mission of “serving urban and rural areas, benefiting the people,” this financial seed took root and sprouted in the land of Zhao. On March 31, 2026, this young bank celebrated its “coming of age” ceremony.

Eighteen springs and autumns, Postal Savings Bank of China Handan Branch has always integrated its development into the overall economic and social development of Handan, from laying a solid foundation to gaining momentum, using financial lifeblood to nourish thousands of industries and millions of households in Handan. In the journey of serving high-quality local development, it has written a warm and powerful era-defining answer sheet.

Focusing on the real economy, acting as a “booster” for industrial upgrading

Handan, an important node city in the coordinated development of Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei, is at the critical juncture of green transformation of traditional industries and the rapid rise of emerging industries. Postal Savings Bank of China Handan Branch understands that finance is not only the lifeblood of the economy but also the “engine” of industrial upgrading.

Aligned with Handan’s industrial planning, the branch continues to increase credit support around pillar industries such as steel, equipment manufacturing, and new materials. Data shows that in 2025 alone, the bank’s total credit issuance exceeded 20 billion yuan, inclusive micro and small business loans reached 10.8 billion yuan, and financial technology residuals amounted to 4.2 billion yuan, with an annual net increase of over 400 million yuan. In supporting green and low-carbon transformation, the bank also spared no effort; by 2025, its green loan balance exceeded 3.3 billion yuan, with an annual increase of nearly 1 billion yuan, and a growth rate of over 42%, ensuring that financial resources flow precisely into high-end manufacturing and green industries.

Moreover, the branch has delved into the “capillaries” of industrial clusters. For county-specific industries like Yongnian fasteners and Quzhou toy cars, it provides tailored comprehensive financial solutions through “one industry, one policy, one enterprise, one plan,” solving enterprises’ “funding difficulties” and helping reduce costs and improve efficiency across the supply chain through supply chain finance.

Deepening rural revitalization, serving the “frontline” of agriculture, rural areas, and farmers

As a state-owned bank serving “agriculture, rural areas, and farmers,” Postal Savings Bank of China Handan Branch has always regarded the vast counties as its main service battleground. Over 18 years, 154 branches have spread across urban and rural areas like stars, opening up the “last mile” of financial services.

In Quzhou County, a small egg witnessed the wisdom and responsibility of Postal Savings Bank. In August 2025, leveraging the industry advantage of “China’s Ecological Egg Hometown,” the branch successfully launched the country’s first co-branded poultry egg card integrating digital renminbi technology—the “Golden Egg Card.” Relying on the features of digital renminbi—small anonymous transactions and large traceability—this card not only addressed the pain points of low transaction efficiency and high fees in poultry egg trading but also achieved “three-in-one” of fund flow, information flow, and logistics through smart contracts. Poultry farmer Zhang Shuaipeng in Quzhou said with emotion, “During peak season, daily transactions reach two to three hundred thousand yuan. Previously, transfer fees were high, but now real-time settlement is free, and this card really hits the mark for us!”

From the innovation of the “Golden Egg Card” to continuous increases in agricultural loans, Postal Savings Bank of China Handan Branch keeps polishing its “agriculture, rural areas, and farmers” financial foundation. As of now, the branch’s agricultural loan balance exceeds 12 billion yuan. From Guantao poultry to Chizhou chili peppers, the bank activates county-specific industries through digital finance, helping small specialties grow into large industries that increase local income.

Practicing the original intention of inclusive finance, becoming a “guardian” of people’s livelihoods

Serving the local community requires not only attention to industrial scale but also conveying the warmth of finance. Over 18 years, Postal Savings Bank of China Handan Branch has adhered to a customer-centric approach, focusing on social security, healthcare, and elderly care, weaving a dense safety net for people’s livelihoods.

In Weixian, when the urban construction and heating company faced funding shortages due to energy station expansion, the Weixian branch took proactive action, quickly providing 25 million yuan in comprehensive credit support, ensuring residents’ warm winter. In Yongnian District, the branch actively promoted the third-generation social security card replacement, bringing mobile devices into government offices, communities, and villages, delivering services directly to residents’ doorsteps.

From helping micro and small enterprises solve urgent needs to safeguarding people’s “pocketbooks,” Postal Savings Bank of China Handan Branch has used warm-hearted service to fulfill its social responsibility as a state-owned bank. To meet the “short, small, frequent, urgent” financing needs of micro and small enterprises, the branch deepens digital transformation, promoting online products like “Micro Easy Loan” and “Rapid Loan,” making “more data, fewer trips for customers.”

Party leadership guides development, becoming a “striver” in the new era

Eighteen years of perseverance are inseparable from the inheritance of red gene. Postal Savings Bank of China Handan Branch always insists on party leadership, integrating party building deeply with business development, corporate management, and corporate culture. From the “Party Member Vanguard Team” leading the charge to the “Youth Commando Team” full of vitality, from “Postal Love Public Welfare” spreading kindness to “Financial Knowledge into Communities” patiently educating, the branch has not only gained customer trust but also received widespread social praise.

Eighteen is a vibrant age, and also the beginning of bearing great responsibilities.

Standing at a new historical starting point, the branch manager of Postal Savings Bank of China Handan Branch stated that the branch will continue to adhere to the concept of “serving urban and rural areas, benefiting the people,” deeply integrate into Handan’s economic and social development, provide higher-quality financial services, innovate product systems, continuously empower the real economy, support rural revitalization, and safeguard people’s livelihoods. In the journey to accelerate the construction of a modern regional central city, the branch will contribute even more vigorous Postal Savings strength!
