BEIJING, March 8, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Pintec Technology Holdings Ltd. ("PINTEC"; NASDAQ: PT), a leading independent technology platform enabling financial services in China, today announced a partnership with Xueba100, a popular one-on-one tutoring platform in the country, to develop efficient and convenient consumer financing solutions for online education.

Xueba100 is the one-on-one tutoring brand of Xuebajun that specializes in intelligent online education. With PINTEC's next-generation digital credit assessment technologies, customers of Xueba100 can easily apply for installment purchases by supplying basic personal information after making a down payment, and get the result in just a few seconds.

China's online education market is expected to reach 433 billion RMB by 2020, with the number of online education users reaching 296 million, according to an online education industry report by iiMedia Research.
