China stopped the registration of new finance companies as authorities have begun restraining online finance, according to Caixin.
Citing sources privy to the matter, entities with finance-related names can no longer register with the State Administration for Industry & Commerce. Instead, companies will first have to secure approvals from Chinese regulators.
Clearing the Internet finance, which commenced on April 14 and will end by January 2016, seeks to eradicate fraudulent acts by some peer-to-peer lenders that endanger financial soundness nationwide.
Caixin said the Chinese government will recall licenses for current finance companies that fail inspections during the process.
