Reverse Factoring

Reverse factoring is a financing arrangement where a buyer approves financing for its suppliers, allowing them to receive early payment on their invoices at a lower cost, leveraging the buyer’s creditworthiness. This approach optimizes the working capital management for suppliers and strengthens the overall supply chain. The program cost is usually borne by the supplier.

Paying Agent Model

Paying agent models in supply chain finance involve a financial institution or platform provider acting as an intermediary to facilitate payments between buyers and suppliers. This model allows buyers to extend payment terms, while suppliers receive payment from a paying agent (e.g. financial institution), enhancing their liquidity. It streamlines the payment process and optimizes working capital for both parties.

Dynamic Discounting

Dynamic discounting is a flexible payment strategy where a buyer offers its suppliers the option to receive early payment on invoices in exchange for a reduced price. This approach allows for on-demand discounts based on the timing of payment, offering greater financial flexibility to both buyers and suppliers within the supply chain. Costs are borne by the supplier. The buyer uses their own cash, not relying on bank loans or alternative funding partners.
