Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) play a critical role in promoting the development of China’s real economy and improving national productivity, but their financing still faces challenges. In recent years, supply chain finance (SCF) has become one of the most important solutions to SMEs’ financing difficulties. Promoting the digital and innovative development of SCF can better meet the financing needs of SMEs. This study is based on a case study of Zhejiang MYbank Co., Ltd. (MYbank) in Hangzhou, China, which is a representative institution of digital supply chain finance development in China and committed to realizing the digital innovation development of SCF. Based on MYbank’s financial index data from 2018 to 2022, the implementation effect of MYbank’s digital supply chain finance is quantitatively analyzed from the perspectives of SMEs and MYbank. The main findings are as follows.(1) In the practice of digital supply chain finance, MYbank implements the new concepts of SCF decentralization and full coverage of supply chain links while enhancing the sustainability of SCF. (2) For SMEs, MYbank’s digital supply chain finance development has led to an increase in the financing scale and financing availability of SMEs. (3) The analysis of MYbank’s comprehensive benefits shows that the digital innovation development of SCF effectively increased the overall economic value of the enterprise during the period of 2018–2022. Based on these findings, this study provides implications for commercial banks and other financial institutions to develop digital supply chain finance.
