e-discounting
Supply Chain Finance – automated and efficient pre-payments
Electronic invoicing with integrated Supply Chain Finance
EDITEL now offers you the option of conveniently managing your financing of EDI invoices. e-discounting, developed in collaboration with Intermarket, the specialized institute of Erste Group and Sparkassen, is the ideal solution for the automated and efficient pre-payment of your electronic invoices.
Guaranteed liquidity
e-discounting involves your selling all accounts receivable (from selected clients) to Intermarket Bank who will transfer the outstanding amounts to your account, which can be done immediately upon request. This allows you to adapt the amount of advance payments for the accounts receivables you have sold to match your financial needs on a daily basis using the e-discounting portal.
According to the authorization by you given, your elec-tronic invoices will be shared with your clients and a copy of the invoices with Intermarket Bank. The exchange of the documents takes place in real time via eXite®, the EDI service by EDITEL. As usual, eXite® ensures the safety and traceability of exchanged data. This gives you the option of receiving up to 100% of the amount due as an advance payment. Nothing will change for your clients: your invoices will look the same as always and your outstanding payments will be transferred directly to your account at Erste Bank or Sparkasse. This will allow you to improve your liquidity instantly. In addition, it will take your accounting to the next level.
