Early payments are a win-win between the supplier and the buyer. Suppliers receive faster and more affordable working capital via fully secure payments. Buyers secure a reduction in spend and a more solvent supply chain all while eliminating payment risk.

But there’s hope. What started less than a decade ago as fantasy has matured into a critical tool for growing businesses. For the first time ever, a single corporation can connect digitally with thousands of suppliers — and in mere clicks — actualize the promise of early payments.
This page explains the differences between dynamic discounting and supply chain finance and includes a calculator for determining a return on investment for early payment programs.
