Based on the appli-cation of financial technology, such problems as financial service can't be provided in certain space, certain fields where financial demands are restrained, thus all can be solved to large degree.

Fintech application promotes digitized financial information. It can develop inclusive finance by the financial service innovations which are based on data mining and data based decision making. The mechanism of Fintech act on the in-clusive finance is the key problem in this research. According to the research of the mechanism, further analysis had been done in the following aspects: (1)The mechanism of financial technology on rural inclusive finance; (2)Taking Sichuan as an example, the influnce of fmanical technology on rural inclusive fi-nance in practice; (3)The path of finance technology in rural inclusive finance. This research do analysis on the theory of supply and demand of economics, the theory of network economics and the theory of rural finance. First, it re-searched the mechanism which Fintech acted on the rural inclusive finance by econometrics analysis; Second, this research summarized the general characteristics of the rural inclusive finance which are based on the analysis of cross-section da-ta, time series and panel data of Sichuan and its sample districts. Then, the econometric model is used to study the effect of financial technology on the com-prehensive effect of rural inclusive finance, the improvement of settlement ability and the increase of loan acquisition. At last, concentrating on DCEP which is a typical application of Fintech, it do further analysis on the implementation process that DCEP empowering the rural inclusive finance. Then, it puts forward the path and the suggestions for applying financial technology to develop rural in-clusive finance.
