Financial institutions should handle it carefully when using it to avoid risks caused by insufficient evidence.

The national enterprise directory is a service content of the foreign exchange management information system, and usually only qualified domestic financial institutions can access it. Non-financial institutions can apply to the local foreign exchange management department for inquiry if they need to inquire about relevant information.
