2.       We note your response to comment four relating to performance guaranty
obligations and
         that 31.0% of your 2018 E-APP transaction volume was guaranteed by
related parties (i.e.,
         entities owned by your founder(s) or key management of the company).
Please address the
         following:
           Tell us, and revise your future filings to clarify, where (and how)
in the service process
             for E-APP products borrowers are introduced to guarantors. In this
regard, clarify
             if borrowers may provide their own guarantors. In addition,
clarify if there is a
             separate fee that borrowers or you must pay to related parties for
guarantor services
             and quantify the fee amounts.
           Tell us, and revise your future filings to discuss, if the company
has receivables from
             related parties related to guaranty obligations. Quantify the
amounts and tell us where
             those amounts are presented within Note 19 (Related Party
Transactions and Balances)
             within your notes to the combined and consolidated financial
statements.
           Revise your disclosure in future filings to specify the names of the
related parties.
             Also, tell us if the related parties (i.e., the guarantors) are
variable interest entities
             and provide us with your accounting analysis. Refer to ASC 810-10.
           We understand from your response to comment 20 (refer to the 3rd
bullet point) that
             none of your officers, or any other related parties are required,
explicitly or implicitly,
             to fund any shortfall if the guarantor is unable to fulfill their
guaranty obligations to
             lenders. Reconcile this statement with your disclosure on page
F-36 (Guarantor -
             Related Parties) as well as the the fact that 31.0% of your E-APP
transaction volume is
             guaranteed by related parties (i.e., entities owned by your
founder(s) or key
             management of the company).

3.       We note your response to comment five relating to the service fees you

4.       We note your response to comment 10. Please revise your future filings
to address the
         following:
           Provide additional disclosure to discuss why you expect these
regulations will only
             have a temporary impact on your business.
           Provide disclosure which discusses the details of the "three
reductions" including the
             implementation of the reductions and any other details that would
help investors
             understand the timing and expected current and continuing impact
on your financial
             statements.
           Discuss if, and how, the "three reductions" will impact your E-APP
services.

5.       We note your response to comment 13. Please explain to us why you
believe annualized
         transaction volume is more directly correlated with revenue, as well
as, why you believe it
         better reflects your operating performance.
6.       We note you response to comment 15. Please tell us how the average fee
rates in your
         proposed disclosure reconcile with those presented in your response to
comment 14.
7.       Please revise your future filings to disclose the compensation rates
for your E-APP
         services.
