Core Viewpoint - The article discusses the implementation plan for the personal consumption loan interest subsidy policy aimed at supporting resident consumption from September 1, 2025, to August 31, 2026, detailing eligibility, subsidy rules, and application processes [1]. Summary by Sections Support Scope - The policy applies to personal consumption loans issued by recognized financial institutions, excluding credit card transactions, where the loan is used for actual consumption. Eligible consumption includes both small daily expenses and larger purchases such as vehicles, home renovations, and electronics. Each individual can receive a maximum subsidy of 500 yuan per transaction, with multiple transactions eligible for cumulative benefits [2]. Subsidy Rules - For transactions under 50,000 yuan, the subsidy is calculated based on the actual amount, with a maximum of 1,000 yuan for multiple transactions at the same institution. For transactions over 50,000 yuan, the subsidy is capped at 3,000 yuan, calculated based on a maximum of 50,000 yuan per transaction. The policy may be extended or expanded based on its effectiveness [3]. Loan Processing Institutions - The policy is limited to 23 recognized financial institutions, including 18 banks and 5 other personal consumption loan providers. The policy supports reasonable borrowing needs and actual consumption behaviors, excluding any non-consumption or fraudulent activities [4]. Subsidy Standards - The average interest rate for personal consumption loans is around 3%. The subsidy rate is set at 1 percentage point, which is approximately one-third of the current commercial bank loan rates, with the central and provincial governments covering 90% and 10% of the subsidy, respectively [5]. Cumulative Subsidy Limits - Each borrower can receive a total subsidy of up to 3,000 yuan from one institution, corresponding to a cumulative consumption amount of 300,000 yuan.

Key Areas for Subsidy - The subsidy focuses on several key areas, including household vehicles, home renovations, electronic products, health care, and education training, among others [7][11]. Application Process - Borrowers must authorize the loan processing institution to access transaction information when applying for a personal consumption loan. Existing loans can also be adjusted through supplementary agreements. The institution will calculate the subsidy based on actual consumption and apply it directly to the interest payments, simplifying the process for borrowers [8][9]. Administrative Efficiency - To reduce the burden on borrowers and enhance policy effectiveness, the calculation and application of subsidy funds are primarily managed by the loan processing institutions and local government departments, minimizing additional steps for borrowers [9].

Core Viewpoint - Recent reports indicate that credit card holders are facing temporary suspensions due to abnormal transaction scenarios, particularly "same-name merchant transactions" and "high-frequency transactions at a single merchant" [1][3]. Group 1: Same-name Merchant Transactions - Transactions at POS terminals with merchant names containing the cardholder's name trigger immediate alerts from banks, leading to temporary suspensions due to suspected identity association [3]. - The bank's risk control system flags these transactions as potential "closed-loop fund flow" suspicions, requiring cardholders to provide proof of payment purpose and settle any outstanding debts to lift restrictions [3]. Group 2: High-frequency Transactions at a Single Merchant - Data from the payment industry shows a 37% year-on-year increase in credit card risk control cases due to "concentrated transactions at a single merchant" over the past six months [5]. - Several banks, including China Construction Bank, have implemented measures such as reducing credit limits and freezing cards for high-value, frequent transactions at the same merchant [5]. Group 3: Risk Control Measures by Banks - Minsheng Bank has implemented transaction permission controls to precisely intercept and restrict credit card transactions at specific merchants [7]. - Citic Bank sends warning messages to users when frequent transactions at the same merchant trigger abnormal monitoring [7]. Group 4: Compliance and Transaction Patterns - Credit cards are primarily intended for daily consumption; thus, high-frequency transactions at the same terminal, especially large round-number transactions, may resemble "cash-out transaction characteristics" [8]. - Transactions that do not align with the merchant's actual business scale or daily consumption patterns are closely monitored by banks' risk control systems [8]. Group 5: Recommendations for Cardholders - Experts suggest cardholders diversify their transaction habits by using 2-3 different POS terminals and merchant payment codes to cover various industries, avoiding the risk of transaction scenario solidification [9]. - Cardholders should increase the proportion of genuine consumption across different platforms and ensure a transaction structure of "small frequent + large dispersed" to pass risk control checks more easily [11]. - It is advised to avoid frequent transactions at the same terminal within short time frames and ensure large transactions match the merchant's business type [11]. Group 6: Building a Diverse Transaction Ecosystem - Cardholders should align their transaction behaviors with real-life spending patterns by utilizing different merchant codes, consumption scenarios, and payment channels to create transaction data that reflects "normal consumption logic" [12]. - Combining traditional POS machines with merchant payment codes can generate varied merchant codes, breaking the single-entity transaction pattern [13]. - Incorporating daily high-frequency spending scenarios, such as dining and shopping, along with covering utility payments and educational expenses, can enhance transaction diversity [13].
