This is how Approved Payables Finance works

The supplier delivers the goods and sends an invoice to the buyer.

The buyer confirms the invoice and uploads the corresponding liability together with an irrevocable unconditional payment obligation to the Supply Chain Finance Platform (SCF Platform).

The supplier receives the information that his invoice has been confirmed and requests funding by offering his claim, including the payment obligation.

The bank is informed about the financing request and accept the purchase of the supplier's claim including the payment obligation (true sale).

The bank forwards the discounted invoice amount to the suplier.

The customer pays the confirmed invoice to the bank at the due date.
