1. Reduce management costs
By carrying out the bill pool business, the company and its subsidiaries within the consolidation scope can deposit the received commercial bills into the cooperative financial institutions for centralized management, and the cooperative financial institutions handle custody, collection and other businesses on behalf of them, which is conducive to optimizing the financial structure, reducing management risks and reducing management costs.

To carry out the bill pool business, it is necessary to open a bill pool margin account in a cooperative financial institution as the entry account for the due collection of pledged bills under the bill pool.

2. Guarantee risk
The company and its subsidiaries within the consolidation scope pledge the commercial bills entering the bill pool, and apply to the cooperative financial institution for issuing acceptance bills to pay for the goods of suppliers. With the maturity of the pledged bills, handle the collection and settlement. If the bills cannot be collected normally when they are due, the amount of the pledged bills is insufficient, resulting in the cooperative financial institution requiring the company to provide additional guarantee.
Risk control measures: after the company and its subsidiaries within the consolidation scope carry out the bill pool business with the cooperative financial institutions, they will arrange special personnel to connect with the cooperative financial institutions, establish the bill pool account, track and manage, timely understand the collection and settlement of expired bills and arrange the entry of new bills into the pool, so as to ensure the safety and liquidity of the notes in the pool.
