Supply Chain Finance

DYNAMIC DISCOUNTING

Dynamic Discounting (DD) is a working capital solution that enables Suppliers to receive early payments from Buyers, in exchange for a discount.

  • Suppliers can request for early payment at any point once an invoice is approved
  • Suppliers can choose which invoices to be paid early at a discount
  • Discount is calculated dynamically, which offers Suppliers more advantages compared to traditional static discount
How is SCF different from Dynamic Discounting?
  • In SCF, IFS provides the financing to the Suppliers. IFS will then receive payment from the Buyer at due date.
  • In DD, Buyer makes early payment directly to Supplier. Early payment to Supplier can be funded either entirely by Buyer or together with IFS. IFS provides our platform and know-hows in managing the funding of DD trades.
How does a Buyer benefit from Dynamic Discounting arrangement?
  • In DD, the Buyer deploys their own cash to capture discounts, thus generating risk-free returns of greater yield.
  • A Buyer who has excess cash can benefit by paying off their Supplier earlier for a discount. This helps to improve the gross margin.
Why do Buyers find SCF attractive to their business in the long run?
  • SCF can help Buyers retain their Supplier base by offering cash flow options. A stable supply chain helps in long term planning, ensuring minimal disruption to businesses.
