5 FinTechs modernising Supply Chain Financing in India

By Gloria Mathias

Supply chain finance is a short-term financing solution that allows buyers to pay their suppliers later. SCF can help buyers and suppliers optimize their working capital.

In a supply chain finance process, the buyer places an order for goods or services from a supplier. The buyer receives an invoice for the purchase, which is due within a certain time. The buyer approves the seller in getting financial assistance from a lender or financier. The seller can then sell the invoice to the financier for a discounted price.

Economic volatility and corporate social responsibility can disrupt business in today’s uncertain economic environment. As supply chain finance (SCF) becomes an effective method that improves supply chain financial performance, the demand for digitizing the space is quintessential.
