Supply Chain Finance
We structure and place supply chain finance programs that convert approved payables into predictable early payments for suppliers. The anchor is the buyer’s credit. The output is a lender ready framework with clear approvals data, enforceable assignment, and a claims path that funders accept. Programs can run on bank rails, fund platforms, or a hybrid model.
Snapshot:
Buyer anchored programs from 25 million to 500 million annual early payment volume. Tenor up to invoice due date with optional extensions. Suppliers paid T+1 to T+3 after approval. Pricing set off buyer risk and expected loss. Non recourse to suppliers. Works alongside our

Program Modules And Reference Terms
1. Payables Finance
- Use
early payment to suppliers against buyer approved invoices.
- Risk
buyer risk only once approval is final and irrevocable.
- Funding
daily batches. Settlement on due date from buyer to funder.

discount from approval date to due date on a money market basis.
2. Dynamic Discounting

sliding scale set by days to due date.
3. Distributor And Dealer Finance

- Use
fund inputs or finished goods tied to firm POs.
- Risk
short tenor with control of title and logistics evidence.
- Exit
conversion into receivables funded under the main program.
Underwriting And Risk Controls
We score each program using our F TFRS framework. PD is anchored to the buyer’s credit and jurisdiction. LGD is driven by documentation strength, assignment enforceability, data integrity, and dispute controls. We do not rely on marketing claims. We test real approval data, sample invoices, and dispute history before we place capacity.
- Data integrity
immutable approval events and audit trails from ERP or workflow.
- Assignment
clear notice mechanics and no offset after approval except defined disputes.
- Concentrations
caps by supplier, site, and category. Country and currency limits.
- Disputes
hard cut offs. Separate commercial disputes from credit events.
- Optional credit wraps
confirmation or insurance for weaker issuers or jurisdictions.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the program non recourse to suppliers?
Yes after buyer approval is final. Early payments are purchases of receivables. Recourse sits with the buyer on due date unless a defined dispute applies.
Do we need a platform to run this?
Not always. Banks can run file based flows. Platforms help at scale for onboarding, pricing, and reporting. We support both routes.
What data do funders require?
ERP approval events, invoice and supplier master data, reversals, and dispute logs. Funders will test samples and seek evidence that approvals cannot be altered without audit trails.
Can we combine dynamic discounting with external funding?
Yes. A simple waterfall uses buyer cash first within limits then switches to external funding. Suppliers see one set of rules.
