Jiangsu Bank, in collaboration with Jiangsu Provincial Science and Technology Financing Guarantee Co., Ltd. and local guarantee institutions, has launched a new financial product called 'Compute Token Guarantee' (算力Token担). This product is designed to address the financing challenges of the AI compute industry, which is characterized by light assets and a lack of traditional collateral. The bank uses alternative credit assessment metrics, such as a company's compute scale and token consumption, to evaluate creditworthiness. The product includes three sub-products covering the full compute lifecycle: 'Token Supply Guarantee', 'Token Application Guarantee', and 'Token Service Guarantee', offering up to 20 million yuan in guaranteed credit for up to three years. The first batch of projects has been deployed in Zhenjiang, Nanjing, and Suzhou, totaling 16 million yuan in guaranteed loans. Examples include a 5 million yuan loan for a cloud computing company in Zhenjiang, a 10 million yuan loan for a national 'Little Giant' data technology firm in Nanjing, and a 1 million yuan loan using a 'guarantee + equity warrant' model for an AI company in Suzhou. The bank aims to replicate this model to build a full-chain sci-tech financial service ecosystem.
Source report
In response to the national strategy of "building a new form of intelligent economy" and aligning with Jiangsu Province's digital economy development plans, Jiangsu Bank has partnered with Jiangsu Provincial Science and Technology Financing Guarantee Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Provincial Sci-Tech Guarantee") and local guarantee institutions to launch a specialized product called the "Computing Power Token Guarantee". The initiative focuses on product innovation, mechanism coordination, and scenario-based implementation. The first batch of projects has been rolled out in three branches—Zhenjiang, Nanjing, and Suzhou—with a total of 16 million yuan in guaranteed loans disbursed, marking a new pathway for bank-guarantee collaboration in serving the AI computing power industry chain.
Targeting Industry Pain Points: Joint Product Development by Bank and Guarantee Institutions
The computing power industry is a typical asset-light, tech-driven sector. Companies invest heavily in server procurement, data center construction, and R&D, yet generally lack traditional real estate collateral. This creates a mismatch with conventional credit evaluation logic that emphasizes physical assets and collateral.
To address this bottleneck, Jiangsu Bank and Provincial Sci-Tech Guarantee established a head-to-head coordination mechanism, engaging in deep product co-creation and restructuring the traditional credit assessment framework. By integrating the bank's in-house five-dimensional evaluation for tech enterprises and incorporating parameters such as computing power scale and token consumption as core credit criteria, the partnership transforms computing power—a new production factor—into a quantifiable and valuated form of financing credit, effectively realizing the monetization of "data credit." In addition, the two parties jointly designed three sub-products:
- "Token Supply Guarantee"
- "Token Application Guarantee"
- **"Token Service Guarantee"**
These products offer a maximum guaranteed credit line of 20 million yuan and a term of up to three years, covering the full spectrum of capital needs—from computing power production and deployment to operation and consumption.
Precise Project Implementation: Bank-Guarantee Synergy Empowers the Computing Power Chain
Leveraging a close bank-guarantee coordination mechanism, Jiangsu Bank and its guarantee partners quickly rolled out the first batch of "Computing Power Token Guarantee" projects in Zhenjiang, Nanjing, and Suzhou, precisely matching the financing needs of enterprises at different stages of the value chain.
Zhenjiang: First Project in the Province
A cloud computing company in Zhenjiang—one of the top independent high-defense computing service providers in East China—has built its own Guantang Supercomputing Center, with a daily token consumption of 500 million to 700 million. Jiangsu Bank, together with Provincial Sci-Tech Guarantee and Zhenjiang Guarantee, formed a dedicated task force to accelerate the process from needs assessment and joint due diligence to document issuance and loan disbursement. The result was the province's first "Computing Power Token Guarantee" loan of 5 million yuan, supporting the company in expanding its computing infrastructure and strengthening the regional AI computing base.
Nanjing: Direct Service to "Little Giant" Enterprises
A data technology company in Nanjing, recognized as a national-level "Little Giant" specializing in new and high-tech sectors, faces computing power procurement as its largest fixed expense. Jiangsu Bank and Provincial Sci-Tech Guarantee determined the guaranteed credit line based on the company's computing procurement needs and operational data, providing a dedicated guaranteed loan of 10 million yuan—the largest amount among the first batch of "Computing Power Token Guarantee" projects. This effectively alleviated the company's capital pressure from computing investments and ensured stable business operations.
Suzhou: Exploring a "Guarantee + Equity Warrant" Model
An intelligent technology company incubated under the Chinese Academy of Sciences' "Hongguang Special Project" faced financing difficulties due to a lack of collateral. Jiangsu Bank and Provincial Sci-Tech Guarantee supported its large-model R&D through a "guarantee + equity warrant" approach, granting a loan of 1 million yuan. The company's robots are now deployed at multiple airports, extending the bank-guarantee collaboration from "debt support" to "investment-guarantee linkage."
Looking Ahead
The successful rollout of the first batch of "Computing Power Token Guarantee" projects represents a significant step in Jiangsu Bank's deepening collaboration with guarantee institutions to serve new productive forces. It also validates the replicability and scalability of the "bank-guarantee cooperation + investment-guarantee linkage" model.
Going forward, Jiangsu Bank will continue to strengthen its strategic partnerships with Provincial Sci-Tech Guarantee and local guarantee agencies, integrating technology guarantees, bank credit, venture capital, and policy resources to build a full-chain sci-tech financial service ecosystem. The bank will keep iterating financial services tailored to asset-light tech enterprises, injecting sustained financial momentum into the high-quality development of the province's digital economy.
