Updated on Nov. 6, 2026 in Financial Services
ZTE Corporation presented its infrastructure strategy for agentic finance at Hong Kong FinTech Week x StartmeupHK 2026 at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre. Han Jingyun, Vice President of ZTE, delivered a keynote titled 'The Runway for Intelligent Finance: Zero Failure, Trust, Optimal TCO, and Open Ecosystem.'
Why it matters
The strategy centers on reliability, trust and cost efficiency for banks adopting AI-driven systems, areas where core banking uptime and security are critical. The presentation positions ZTE's full-stack capabilities as a foundation for financial institutions in Hong Kong and beyond.
ZTE reports processing over RMB 10 trillion in daily transaction volume and more than 10 billion financial transactions daily across major banks, with GoldenDB claiming reliability above 99.9999% after six consecutive years in core banking systems. These are company-reported figures, and independent verification and competitor comparisons were not provided.

Financial Services Infrastructure Race
ZTE's pitch extends its GoldenDB record of six years in mission-critical Chinese core banking systems into agentic finance, positioning the company against other vendors competing to supply bank infrastructure for AI-driven services. The move reflects a wider push by Chinese technology providers to win banking workloads across domestic and overseas markets, including Southeast Asia, Africa and Latin America.
For banking customers, the emphasis on core system reliability and zero-trust cloud terminals targets fewer outages and security incidents in everyday transactions and account services. Financial institutions weighing vendor options will see ZTE's claims on uptime and total cost of ownership as factors in their infrastructure decisions.
The takeaway
Banks evaluating AI-era infrastructure should weigh reliability records, security architecture and total cost of ownership together rather than in isolation. ZTE's claims are company-reported and merit independent verification before procurement decisions are made.
