Supply Chain Finance

Buyers now recognise that they can and should use the power of their credit worthiness to gain mutual benefit for themselves and their suppliers across multiple levels of the supply chain. Furthermore, Supply Chain Finance dovetails perfectly with corporates’ e–procurement and e–invoicing models.

At Crédit Agricole Commercial Finance, our innovative Supply Chain programmes are funded by taking advantage of the early settlement discounts available from most suppliers. Buyers are therefore able to differentiate themselves in the eyes of the vendors. Suppliers, in turn, can use the cash for their benefit.

Supply Chain Finance effectively removes bottlenecks and restrictions that strangle profitable trading, strengthening relationships throughout the chain and encouraging interdependency. It can be adopted equally for public debtors as well as for the private sector and can be used globally on a cross–border basis.
