English language references are routine mentions associated with any publicly listed company therefore doesn't pass WP:CORP. Article was originally created by a now blocked sock puppet. Uhooep (talk) 19:47, 13 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. Please consider the Chinese-language references. Even if you do not read Chinese, you can use Google Translate to evaluate the Chinese-language material, and populate the trans-title field for those references with an English translation of the reference title. Ignoring the Chinese-language references seems very much like deliberately ignoring WP:BEFORE. I would normally expect a company listed on the New York Stock Exchange and that is a component of the FTSE Global Equity Index Series to probably be notable. Additional references might be found in the corresponding article in the Chiense Wikipedia at zh:金融壹账通 . Eastmain (talk • contribs) 20:30, 13 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I have translated the Chinese references and believe they also constitute routine mentions - appointment of a director, application for a banking license, etc. Uhooep (talk) 06:23, 14 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Keep per the significant coverage in multiple independent reliable sources.

From Wikipedia:Notability (organizations and companies)#Publicly traded corporations (my bolding):

There has been considerable discussion over time whether publicly traded corporations, or at least publicly traded corporations listed on major stock exchanges such as the NYSE and other comparable international stock exchanges, are inherently notable. Consensus has been that notability is not automatic in this (or any other) case. However, sufficient independent sources almost always exist for such companies, so that notability can be established using the primary criterion discussed above. Examples of such sources include independent press coverage and analyst reports.

The article notes from Google Translate: "Recently, TAB Insights, a research arm of The Asian Banker, launched the world's first comprehensive assessment and ranking of global digital banks based on ... Among them, Ping An OneConnect Bank (PAOB) ranked 45th among global digital banks and ranked first in Hong Kong. In terms of specific ranking scores, Ping An OneConnect Bank scored a full 10 points in the two indicators of revenue growth (Revenue Growth) and loan base rate (LDR), representing professional institutions' recognition of the company's business model."

The book notes: "OneConnect is based on the same core technologies that ensures the success of Ping An's other subsidiaries: AI, blockchain, and big data analytics. This year that company has become one of the largest commercial blockchains in the world, operating 44,000 blockchain nodes for more than 3,000 financial institutions, running almost 50,000 transactions per second. It is this blockchain tech that is currently being used to "establish core port logistics data standards and platforms" in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area."

The book notes: "For example, Ping An OneConnect developed a new business model to transfer Ping An Bank's technology capability, financial products, and operational expertise to other small and medium- size banks. OneConnect has helped forty-two small and medium-size banks develop direct banking and mobile banking. Helping small and medium-size banks establish direct banking is only the first step, as the relationship also includes subsequent product design, operation, and maintenance. OneConnect brings not only competitive financial products but also the marketing and product capabilities from Ping An Bank to these small banks. By the end of 2019, their clients covered 99 percent of city commercial banks in China."

There is sufficient coverage in reliable sources to allow OneConnect Financial Technology (simplified Chinese: 金融壹账通; traditional Chinese: 金融壹賬通) to pass Wikipedia:Notability (organizations and companies)#Primary criteria, which requires "significant coverage in multiple reliable secondary sources that are independent of the subject".
