58 financial loans are not real. 58 Finance, a subsidiary of 58.com, publicly advertised its down payment loan business and faced numerous complaints about illegal car installment charges. 58 Finance is an Internet financial service platform under 58.com, which provides financial products and services under 58.com. The officially launched products include 58 Money Cabinet, 58 Monthly Payment, 58 Car Loan, 58 Credit Loan, and 58 Consumer Loan.
58 Finance involves suspicions of "cutting off interest rates", "false propaganda", and "loan sharking". The platform promises not to charge additional fees such as intermediary fees, handling fees or service fees, but it charges additional fees during the transaction process on the grounds of "purchasing GPS" and "archiving data fees".
