智通财经记者 | 何柳颖 12%利率红线落地一个月后，各小贷公司调整进程如何？ 2025年12月19日，中国人民银行、金融监管总局联合印发《小额贷款公司综合融资成本管理工作指引》 （下称《指引》），其中明确，地方金融管理机构应按照分类施策的原则，指导小额贷款公司逐步将新 发放贷款综合融资成本降至1年期贷款市场报价利率的4倍以内。 多家小贷公司告诉智通财经记者，目前新发放的贷款产品均严格控制在24%以下。对于2027年底前压降 到1年期贷款市场报价利率（LPR） 的4倍（即民间借贷司法保护上限，目前为12%）的要求，有小贷公 司表示，会积极落实，但调整需要一个过程；有小贷公司表示，"边走边看"；另有业内人士认为，落实 12%的利率水平有相当难度，难以覆盖坏账水平。 相对明确的一个信号在于，小贷行业将进一步出清。"改革有阵痛，但不改革就是长痛。"有业内人士如 是告诉智通财经记者。 严控24%红线，"有报送要求" 《指引》中有关键两点引起了行业关注。 包括明确，对新发放贷款综合融资成本超过24%的，地方金融管理机构应按照《小额贷款公司监督管理 暂行办法》（金规〔2024〕26号）采取相应监管措施，督促小额贷款公司立 ...

2026年初，广州市地方金融管理局正式批复艺龙网信息技术（北京）有限公司全资受让广州市萤火虫小 额贷款有限责任公司100%股权，这一交易在小贷行业普遍"撤离潮"的背景下似乎有些"不合时宜"。在 央行与金融监管总局下发《小额贷款公司综合融资成本管理工作指引》，要求小贷公司新发放贷款综合 融资成本逐步压降，并最晚应于2027年底前降至1年期LPR的4倍以内（按2025年12月3%的LPR计算即 12%）的背景下，大量民企背景的小贷公司因盈利空间被挤压纷纷退出市场，此时，艺龙网的逆势收购 并非简单的战略扩张，更像是出于战略协同与合规布局的精准调控。 艺龙网的这场金融布局，手里究竟握着什么牌？ 艺龙网收购萤火虫小贷的核心逻辑在于同程系内部金融资产的优化重组，本质是通过"股权整合+牌照 协同"实现金融业务的合规升级与生态闭环构建，同时为旅游主业赋能，这一逻辑具有一定的合理性， 但也存在落地不确定性。 从合规角度看，2024 年底生效的《小额贷款公司监督管理暂行办法》对小贷公司股东资质、股权穿 透、关联交易等提出严苛要求，萤火虫小贷此前股权涉及多方间接持股，结构相对复杂。此次收购将股 权统一至同程全资控股的艺龙网名下，确 ...

Core Insights - The consumer credit market in China has faced significant regulatory changes over the past year, moving away from a "profit without effort" era to a more stringent environment that emphasizes risk management and cost reduction [1][2]. Regulatory Changes - In April 2025, new regulations were introduced to limit the comprehensive financing cost of loans, capping it at 24% and requiring all hidden fees to be included in this calculation [1]. - By October 2025, further guidance was issued to reduce personal loan costs to 20%, with a focus on lowering the proportion of guarantee and credit enhancement services [1]. - A directive was released at the end of 2025, mandating that new loans should not exceed 24% in comprehensive financing costs, with a target to gradually bring it down to four times the one-year Loan Prime Rate (LPR), which is currently set at 12% based on a 3% LPR [1]. Interest Rate Trends - The overarching goal of these regulations is to drive interest rates down across the board, with a clear indication that the 24% cap is not the final limit, as the intention is to phase out high-risk borrowers [2]. - The market has seen a stratification of interest rates, with different caps for various types of loans: 24% for general loans, 20% for consumer finance companies, 18% for credit card installments, 12% for small loan companies, and below 8% for loans to high-quality clients from commercial banks [3]. Market Dynamics - The regulatory changes have led to a differentiation in the market, where consumer finance companies and small loan companies are no longer competing in the same high-risk, high-return space [3]. - The focus on risk management has resulted in a shift towards serving more rational borrowers, with a notable reduction in the reliance on high-interest loans that previously catered to high-risk clients [2]. Industry Adjustments - Companies are responding to these regulatory pressures by reducing customer acquisition costs and optimizing their operational structures, including cutting back on non-core teams and enhancing post-loan management [6]. - Some smaller platforms are considering exiting the market, while larger firms are exploring international opportunities to diversify their revenue streams [6]. Future Outlook - The industry is expected to undergo significant changes by March 2026, as companies navigate the pressures of compliance and market adaptation, leading to potential consolidation and a clearer path forward for surviving entities [6].
