Additionally, the new platform will allow users to open an account with ICBC and request certificates of deposit online.

Earlier, the banks customers had to visit physical branch offices to obtain such documents.

The partnership between ICBC and JD.com is the latest example of a bank teaming up with a technology firm in areas beyond e-commerce.

Earlier, the Agricultural Bank of China and Baidu as well as Bank of China and Tencent agreed to forge similar partnership for digital banking services.

In March, Ant Financial Services Group, which owns online payment platform Alipay, announced a partnership with China Construction Bank.
