China CITIC Bank has hailed the results of a blockchain payments platform that it first deployed in the Xiong’an New Area just over a year ago to cater to the spate of construction projects in the area.

At the start of 2020 CITIC Bank successfully launched its “Xiong’an New District Construction Funds Blockchain System Platform”, becoming the first on-chain lender in the region.

The joint-stock lender uses the platform to facilitate payments made to the accounts of builders and materials suppliers for local construction projects in the Xiong’an New District, involving local government authorities, construction companies, contractors, sub-contractors and building staff.

As a recently launched urban development zone, Xiong’an New Area is a hotbed of construction projects. In 2020 the area saw the start of 147 construction projects with a total contract value of 68.3 billion yuan.
