As a matter of fact, the central bank stated in the public information of trademark renewal of the payment business license of non-bank payment institutions in 2002165438 (the third batch in February 2002165438) that the above four payment institutions would withdraw from the payment sales market in an orderly manner without submitting the application for trademark renewal.
Since the central bank issued the first batch of payment licenses, the total number of payment licenses reached 27 1 piece at one time. However, with the tightening of management and control and the acceleration of strategic transformation of enterprises in this field, the reshuffle of the payment industry has intensified and the total number of payment licenses has been continuously closed.

In the past, such institutions have been exposed to misappropriate and occupy customer reserve funds. However, in recent years, with the tightening of natural environment control and the change of market environment, the sales of prepaid cards and the operation of trial payment institutions have been restricted, thus withdrawing from the sales market.
At present, Hebei One Card has issued a notice on the relevant procedures for card withdrawal. Friends who need to return their cards can go through the card return procedures according to the announcement process.
