By contrast, traditional banks, as "challenge" parties, reacted differently. On the one hand, a number of bank executives talk about internet finance on various occasions, as well as the High-profile announcement by banks ' shareholders that they will form electric companies, but on the other hand, it is the disadvantage of the business that is reflected by the closure of the credit card mall by individual banks.

Ali's Credit payment
The financial strategy of another Internet financial giant, Alibaba, is becoming more prudent as Tencent moves into the depths of internet finance.

Traditional banks have different coping strategies
With the gradual prairie of Internet finance, the coping strategies of traditional banks are different.
August 6, Societe Generale credit card official website released a "closed" bulletin, will people's view back to the traditional bank in the field of electrical business development and survival status. But the announcement did not specify the reason for closing the mall, only "due to business adjustment."
However, in the Chinese E-commerce Research Center Director Lei, the credit card mall does not do well, does not represent the bank of the electricity business.
In fact, traditional financial institutions have also been aware of the impact of Internet change and have begun to change the traditional financial model. At present, including China Merchants Bank, Ping An bank has launched their micro-credit payment platform.
In an interview with the Daily Economic news, Ruzenwang, an e-commerce observer, said Ali financial from the balance treasure, to do credit payment, all business is actually doing some online banking, similar to bank deposits, loans, transfer, payment and other business, online finance already has a traditional financial functions.
Ruzenwang points out that while online finance is hard to compare with traditional banks in volume terms, it will spur further changes in banks, and there are still some rigidities in banking services. For example, the current network banking services, the future of the net silver will replace most of the functions of the network, which will make the function of the bank has changed greatly.
Ma, former governor of China Merchants Bank, has written that the future development of the Internet will be more far-reaching to the challenges of traditional banks, mainly in addition to the past indirect financing and direct financing, there will be a third form of financing, is the emergence of internet financing.
Ruzenwang that internet companies in some areas of the threat to traditional financial institutions is not so big, such as large deposit and loan business. But in some areas, such as third-party payments or micro-credit payments, it may impact the way traditional banks and UnionPay pay.
In Ruzenwang's view, there is more of a partnership between the current Internet finance and traditional banks, "such as the Third-party payment companies and the banks, without the support of the banks, they can not do their own business." They are not a competitive relationship, more of a collaborative relationship. ”
However, in Songzuo's view, the financial advantages of Internet companies is not as big as the outside publicity, the internet is only a relatively convenient means of payment. We should consider the advantages of Internet and traditional enterprises in order to learn from each other.
