Confidential Submission of Draft Registration Statement on Form F-1

Dear Sir or Madam:

On behalf of our client, Jiayin Group Inc. (the “Company”), a foreign private issuer incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands, we are submitting the Company’s draft Registration Statement on Form F-1 (the “Draft Registration Statement”) relating to a proposed initial public offering in the United States of American Depositary Shares (“ADSs”), representing the Company’s ordinary shares, par value US$0.0001 per share. The ADSs are expected to be listed on the New York Stock Exchange or Nasdaq Global Market. Subject to market conditions and the resolution of the comments of the staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Staff”) on the Draft Registration Statement, the Company expects to file a preliminary prospectus with a price range and commence its marketing efforts in October 2018.

The Company is an “emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. In accordance with the procedures of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) for emerging growth companies, the enclosed Draft Registration Statement is being submitted to the Staff in draft form and for the Staff’s review on a confidential basis.

The Company respectfully advises the Commission that the consolidated financial statements contained in the Draft Registration Statement were prepared using ASC 605 for revenue recognition, and the Company intends to adopt ASU 2014-09 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)” from January 1, 2018 with a full retrospective approach. The Company is in the process of preparing the consolidated financial statements for 2016 and 2017 as well as for the six months ended June 30, 2018 under ASC 606 which the Company intends to submit in subsequent registration statements. The adoption of ASC 606 is expected to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements. Please refer to page F-22 of the Draft Registration Statement for more details.
