New Offering: Trade Finance
Programs like supply chain financing and dynamic discounting are only possible through e-invoicing/AP automation
What’s the difference between TF, SCF & DD? “Trade finance” is a blanket term that covers both SCF & DD
“Supply chain finance” refers to the solutions available for financing products/services as invoices are processed – usually through an intermediary, such as a bank or financial institution
“Dynamic discounting” is where the buyer submits early payment to a supplier in exchange for a discount on goods/services
13Mitch Baxter | VP, Business Development & Strategic Relations | [email protected]
