Supply chain finance

Supply chains are being challenged all around the world. Some are being created on the spot to ensure local delivery while others increase in complexity by connecting buyers with suppliers globally. Wherever buyers and suppliers are located, and no matter how long you have been in business with your trade partners, you aim to improve your working capital and strengthen good working relationships.

Our internationally-recognised supply chain finance team can assist you in achieving both simultaneously. We provide management with a new holistic view of their business and help ensure financial efficiency of a supply chain by unlocking working capital and smoothening operational flows.

  • Meet your working capital targets
  • Instant liquidity to your supply chain
  • Optimal payment terms for buyers, accelerated cash flow for suppliers
  • Strong working relationships

Web-based working capital optimisation tool

An essential part of our supply chain finance offering is our web-based working capital optimisation tool. Our platform connects buyers and suppliers and ensures transparency for all trade partners in the supply chain. This optimisation of the P2P process has a positive impact on working capital and supply chain stability.

The tool operates according to an easy-to-follow and transparent payment process. Buyers simply upload approved invoices with future dated payment instructions to the platform. This then provides suppliers with access to funding. Suppliers have the option to receive early payment for a small fee since pricing is based on their buyers’ credit rating. The suppliers select invoices for discount and offer them to ING. We then accept the offer and pay the net amount to the suppliers. At the final step, the buyer settles with us on the payment due dates.

Award-winning global and local expertise

Our team of supply chain experts has been recognised internationally. We can provide your company with guidelines on how to accelerate collaboration between finance, purchasing, sales and trade partners so that we can build strong businesses throughout the entire supply chain.
