Wanjiang Financial Leasing Co., Ltd.

Wanjiang Financial Leasing Co., Ltd. (皖江金融租赁股份有限公司, commonly abbreviated as 皖江金租) is a Chinese non-bank financial institution specializing in financial leasing. It was established in December 2011 with approval from the then China Banking and Insurance Regulatory Commission (now the National Financial Regulatory Administration) and is registered in Wuhu, Anhui Province. The company operates as a state-controlled financial leasing entity with registered capital of RMB 3.9 billion and reports having deployed more than RMB 160 billion into the real economy. The company's business spans several specialized leasing verticals. Its product and service lines include green finance, aviation finance, shipping finance, vehicle finance, construction machinery and equipment manufacturing. This breadth positions Wanjiang Financial Leasing as a diversified lessor serving both industrial equipment and transportation assets, including emerging areas such as electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) aircraft. Ownership of the company has evolved. In September 2026, following approval by the National Financial Regulatory Administration, Anhui Transportation Holding Group Co., Ltd. (安徽省交通控股集团有限公司) acquired 481,360,200 shares from Tianjin Bohai Leasing Co., Ltd. (天津渤海租赁有限公司). Upon completion of the industrial and commercial registration change on 20 September 2026, Anhui Transportation Holding Group held 54.6503% of the company, becoming its controlling shareholder and actual controller. The company stated that its governance structure remained stable and business operations continued normally. Wanjiang Financial Leasing maintains its registered office in Wuhu and an operational presence in Hefei, with contact details listed at Binhu New District, Hefei. It operates under the regulatory framework for Chinese financial leasing companies and has been recognized with an AAA issuer credit rating, first awarded in November 2025. The company is active in policy-aligned areas such as transition finance for the steel industry and green finance, reflecting its role as a state-linked financial institution supporting regional and national economic priorities.
