China’s Ant Group said on Monday that it is making efforts to “differentiate” part of its short-term consumer loan business Jiebei, as it pursues a Beijing-led restructuring aimed at reining in some of its freewheeling businesses.
Ant, the financial affiliate of e-commerce giant Alibaba Group, saw its $37 billion IPO derailed by regulators last year and has since been working to turn itself into a financial holding firm.
