The launch ceremony for “IB-TFSC” Co-branded Card was held at the Tianjin Friendship Shopping Center on September 22, 2007.

“IB–TFSC” Co-branded Card is the product of the collaboration between Industrial Bank and the Tianjin Friendship Shopping Center, which is run by the Tianjin Yishang Friendship Stock Co., Ltd. It is the first card released in conjunction with a department store by Industrial Bank in the Tianjin region, and its launch comes at a time when the number of credit cards issued by Industrial Bank has just exceeded the 2 million mark. The card is trendy, noble, favorable and convenient. In addition to offering all of the functions and special services of a standard Industrial Bank credit card, the card also entitles the holder to VIP treatment at the Tianjn Friendship Shopping Center. What's more, when using the card at the shopping center, the holder can gain rewarded scores from both Industrial Bank and the shopping center simultaneously! This means that “IB-TFSC” Co-brand Card represents a true integration of a credit card and a department store member card. The card is there to cater to the interests of the cardholders. Furthermore, gold card holders are also entitled to further special privileges, such as VIP room services at 16 airports in 15 major cities as well as air-travel accident insurance of RMB 2 million Yuan. Such privileges are rarely seen with cards from other banks.

There was a fantastic response from people wanting the card at the launch event. Over the past several years, Industrial Bank has remained committed to its principles of stressing quality, upping scale and creating benefit; with the bank's retail business having witnessed especially rapid growth. In addition to the rapid growth seen in wealth management cards and personal housing mortgages, credit cards are fast emerging as the backbone of the bank's retail business. As of the present, the bank has already released a number of highly influential credit cards that stand out from the crowd, including the Garfield Credit Card, Lady's Card, QQ Show Credit Card, Auto Card, Wuhan Junefield SOGO Department Store Credit Card and the Xiamen Rainbow Department Store Co-branded Card. In addition to this, Industrial Bank has also developed a series of innovative card functions previously unseen in China, such as “Consumption by Rewarded Scores” and “Advance Rewarded Scores”, which have gone down extremely well with card holders. It goes without saying that Industrial Bank will keep on providing more and more finance products of an increasingly high quality as the bank continues to become more adept in innovation and stronger in business capacity. These products will provide clients with financing services that are comprehensive, high in quality and worth trusting.
