Oi Wah Launches Innovative Premium Service Center at Tsim Sha Tsui East MTR Station

Breathing new life into traditional pawnshop business Launching New App for Digital Loan Applications

HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach – 4 October 2023 – Oi Wah Pawnshop Credit Holdings Limited (HKEx stock code: 1319.HK, the “Group” or “Oi Wah”) is delighted to announce the grand opening of its premier service center located at the MTR East Tsim Sha Tsui Station today, which makes it the Group’s first location in MTR station. The Board of Directors of the Group, along with our brand ambassador, Ms. Toby Chan, attended the ribbon-cutting ceremony. The newly unveiled service center, characterized by its fresh design, marries modern aesthetics with the essence of traditional pawnshops. Complemented by the Group’s new mobile APP, we are poised to provide customers with a streamlined one-stop loan solution, signifying a groundbreaking shift in the conventional pawnbroking landscape.

The service center has adopted a contemporary interior design to breathe new life into the traditional business. The typical screen at the main entrance commonly known as the “Ze Cau Baan (遮羞板)”, has been replaced with a long corridor that guides customers to the back of the shop for pawn services. The thoughtful touch has abolished the old design while still ensuring the privacy of customers and avoiding gazes from onlookers. Instead of high counters, the pawn area now features elegant seating areas and offers a private one-on-one consultation room, enhancing the overall customer experience. In terms of security, the shop retains the “double-lock doors” design from traditional pawnshops -the first door it must be fully closed before the second door can be opened, preventing outsiders from viewing the interior and ensuring security.

Having a strong foothold in the pawnbroking industry for nearly half a century, Oi Wah Pawnshop is proud to be the first local pawnshop to be publicly listed. The Group has consistently been at the forefront of innovation in order to maintain its leadership position in the industry. A testament to this commitment is the Group’s upcoming mobile APP. Within the APP, customers can obtain preliminary collateral evaluation, loan valuation and application of loan, etc. By digitizing the entire pawn loan application process, we offer an efficient and streamlined one-stop loan solution, catering to the evolving needs of our clients.

Mr. Edward Chan, Chairman, CEO and Executive Director of Oi Wah, said, “I am optimistic about the long-term growth of loan demand in Hong Kong. I believe that establishing a modernly designed premium service center in bustling MTR stations will help expand our customer base and revenue streams. In addition, the digitization of loan applications and approvals not only accelerates the entire loan process for customers but also enhances their experience. This aligns with the expectations of the new generation for innovative fintech services, ushering in a transformative era for the industry.”

Near 30 senior business executives and ESG experts spoke and shared experiences at the four discussion panels.

CHKLC encourages listed companies to transition to low-carbon business mode utilizing technology

CHKLC Chairperson Catherine Leung remarked, “The theme of today’s Forum is the use of green finance and technology to overcome Climate Risks and strive for sustainable development. Technology is an important catalyst in many aspects of our modern world, and a great number of mainland and Hong Kong enterprises have built a solid technology foundation, enabling them to produce products and services that meet international standards and are in demand. This not only generates revenue, and when applied to environmental industry sectors, will also make great contribution to the decarbonisaton efforts globally. I encourage listed companies to study the utilisation of technology in transitioning their business to low-carbon mode, or in venturing into new business areas, to further protect our climate and environment and explore new opportunities for shareholders and create more value.”

Hang Seng Champions Businesses in Transition Toward a Low-Carbon and Sustainable Development Model

In her opening remarks, Hang Seng Bank’s Executive Director and Chief Executive, Ms Diana Cesar, affirmed: “Hong Kong has a unique opportunity to play a major role in green finance. At Hang Seng, we’re leveraging our financial expertise to support sustainable growth. Through green loans and low-carbon investments, we’re partnering with our clients to usher in a new era of sustainable business practices.”

Transition Finance and Innovation Technology to support low-carbon transition

Managing climate risks is one of the most important challenges to businesses in recent years due to mitigation costs and tightening disclosures requirements. By January 2024, climate-related disclosures are proposed to be mandatory in listed firms’ ESG reports. Many traditional businesses with higher GHG emissions are getting eager to transition to low carbon, low emission operation through business transformation. Transition Finance is pivotal in the shift towards a low-carbon economy.

Social Impact Investments to connect with communities

As good corporate citizens, engaging with social needs and connecting with the community are also considered as alignments to ESG requirements. There has been growing advocacy among corporates to address social concerns on top of environmental needs, some even taking the lead in social impact investments. Decarbonization technologies have also been developed in response to climate risks and can be of great help to corporates in achieving low-carbon operations.

4 discussion panels to address hot ESG topics

All these compelling issues are thus the focus of discussions in todays’ ESG and Green Finance Opportunities Forum 2023 to be addressed in the following 4 panel discussions.

(1) Panel 1: Transition Finance – Trends, Opportunities and Challenges

Transition finance is to offer financial support which helps high-carbon companies to start implementing long-term changes to become greener. The characteristics and practices of transition finance, as well as how corporates in Hong Kong and GBA can best utilize it in their climate change endeavours were discussed.

(2) Panel 2: Social Impact Investments for Sustainable Growth

Going beyond decarbonization, financing should also be channeled to projects with positive social impact. This session introduced social impact investments as means to advance sustainable development goals and evaluate current endeavours in Hong Kong and GBA.

(3) Panel 3: Regulatory Updates on ESG Reporting and Climate Risks Disclosures

Representatives from regulators HKEX and SFC are invited to share updates on the latest climate-related rules and regulations to prepare local businesses for better compliance and reporting.

(4) Panel 4: Decarbonization Strategy and Technology Application
