OmniPay Launches New Supply Chain Finance Platform
OmniPay, the Australia-based fintech provider, has recently launched its new supply chain finance (SCF) platform to help suppliers in Australia better manage cash flow. OmniPay provides both a web-based and mobile application that allows suppliers the ability to request early payments on their invoices. These payments are then financed by OmniPay upon receiving approval. A supplier can import invoices directly into the OmniPay platform and make a request for payment. From there, the invoice is sent to buyer to be digitally signed and approved. OmniPay will pay 85% of the value of the invoice to the supplier within one business day of receiving approval. The buyer must then pay the invoice amount to OmniPay within the agreed upon payment terms. The remaining 15% of the invoice then gets passed on to the supplier (minus a 3.5% fee that OmniPay charges the supplier). OmniPay plans to initially target its SCF platform towards construction companies, but will eventually look to target businesses with large supply chains across all industries.
NatWest Bank Partners with MarketInvoice to Help Fund Businesses
National Westminster Bank (NatWest), the UK-based financial institution, has partnered with invoice finance platform provider, MarketInvoice, to link its corporate clients in the UK to invoice financing solutions. MarketInvoice offers an invoice finance platform that allows businesses to sell their unpaid invoices in order to get paid faster and provide more working capital. NatWest will integrate MarketInvoice into its Capital Connections panel which helps guide SMB’s that are struggling to get better access to financing. Customers will be able to choose if they want specific invoices financed or receive access to financing based on all of their outstanding invoices. MarketInvoice is the first invoice financing company to join the panel.
