associated referral fees.
3.       Please outline the terms of your dual class share structure and
disclose the material
         implications therefrom. For example, if true, please disclose that Mr.
Zhou will have the
         ability to control the outcome of all corporate governance matters so
long as he holds at

4.       Please disclose the averages and ranges for the credit lines,
drawdowns, and "variable
         tenors" that your platform offers borrowers, as well as all fees or
interest charged. Please
         separately highlight the percentage of loans exceeding 24% APR at both
December 31,
         2017 and the most recent practicable date as we note your disclosures
on pages 112 and

rates over 24%.

         add 2 tables for quarterly revenues and quarterly profit/losses.
Our Strengths, page 3

6.       We note that your prospectus summary includes a discussion of your
competitive
         strengths and business strategy. Please balance this disclosure by

9.       We note you are in the process of making several adjustments to your
business practices
         in response to recent regulatory guidance in China, including Circular

         56, but may not be fully compliant at this time. Please revise the

         to quantify your progress on these changes as of a recent date. For
example, please
         quantify for us and in your disclosures the amount of originations and
proportion of
         funding partners for which you still collect repayments directly,
without third-party
         payment channels, and provide, if possible, an estimate of when you
will no longer engage
         in this practice. Please also quantify the proportion and balance of
loans outstanding
         exceeding 24% APR and 36% APR during a recent period and, to the
extent material,
         contrast this with your historical operations. Please also disclose
potential material
         penalties for violating this recent regulatory guidance, both
historically and going forward.

We have granted, and may continue to grant, share incentive awards..., page 61

13.      We note your discussion of the historical first year utilization rate.
Please revise here, and
         elsewhere as appropriate, to quantify and discuss repeat borrower

         separately from new origination volume.
Loan Performance Data, page 85

14.      We note your disclosure that the Loan Performance Data section shows
the effectiveness
         of the Company's risk management. The subsequent graph on page 86
appears to show
         M1+ delinquency rate by vintage. However, you appear to reference the
M3+
         delinquency rate in the "Ability to effectively manage risks" section
on page 85 and in
         multiple other locations within the filing as an important metric
(e.g., pages 106, 109).
         Please therefore revise your disclosures to present trends for both
rates.
15.      Tell us if the M1+ and M3+ delinquency rates have any impact or
relationship with the
         historical loss experience, delinquency, or other factors used in the
computation of your
         allowance for loans and advances losses as described in your financial
statements (e.g.
         Allowance for Loans Losses as discussed on page F-18).
