FAQs

Supply chain finance (SCF) refers to a range of technology-driven solutions designed to reduce financing costs and enhance business efficiency for buyers and sellers engaged in a sales transaction. SCF methodologies achieve this by automating transactions and monitoring invoice approval and settlement processes from initiation to completion.

Supply chain finance involves a collaboration between a buyer and a financial institution. Under this arrangement, the financial institution pays the suppliers directly on behalf of the buyer. While suppliers may need to enrol in the program, it's the responsibility of the buying company to initiate and establish this arrangement.

The primary advantage of supply chain finance is that the buyer incurs no fee to extend its payment terms, and the supplier only pays a minimal discount if they opt for early payment of a supply chain loan.

Supplier finance applies to companies across diverse sectors, including automotive, electronics, manufacturing, retail, and others. It benefits organisations on both sides of the supply chain, allowing buying entities to extend their payment terms while suppliers can receive earlier payments.

Under Supply Chain Finance, various supply chain financing solutions are offered to facilitate smooth transactions between buyers and sellers. Some common types include:


  • Invoice Discounting
  • Dynamic Discounting
  • Supply Chain Financing Platforms
  • Receivables Finance
  • Payables Financing
  • Inventory Financing
  • Purchase Order Financing
  • Channel Financing

Sales Bill Discounting, Purchase Bill Discounting and Letter of Credit Bill Discounting.
