Dear Mr. King, Mr. Lin, Mr. Pande and Mr. Phippen:
On behalf of our client, Yirendai Ltd., a foreign private issuer organized under the laws of the Cayman Islands (the “Company”), we are filing herewith the Company’s Registration Statement on Form F-1 (the “Registration Statement”) via EDGAR with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”).

In addition, the Company is supplementally providing (under a separate cover letter) a legal opinion that it obtained from its PRC legal counsel in response to the Staff’s comments raised during the Company’s telephone discussion with the Staff on November 5, 2015.
