Supply Chain Finance

Our supply chain finance solutions enable you to provide your key suppliers with an opportunity to sell their confirmed Accounts Receivable from you to Regions, at a discount.

Supply-chain finance programs are best suited for companies with:

• Investment-grade or near investment-grade credit profile
• $100 million in annual trade spend

Our confirmed supply chain finance facilities start at $15 million.

Here is how it works:

• An imbedded assumption in a Regions supply-chain finance program is that the supplier has a higher cost of borrowing than your company.
• You receive extended payment terms from key suppliers, and the suppliers receive cash immediately for selling the Accounts Receivable.
• The supplier benefits from a lower cost of capital by selling Accounts Receivable at a discount rate that is based on your credit profile instead of borrowing funds from their own bank.

Benefits of supply chain finance

• You reduce working-capital inefficiencies in the supply chain by allowing suppliers to receive earlier payments while extending your payment terms.
• It supports your effort to extend payment terms with suppliers, increase days-payable outstanding and lower working capital requirements.
• Suppliers get access to early-payment liquidity to accelerate the sales-to-cash cycle and decrease days sales outstanding, irrespective of commercial terms with their customer.
• In many cases, the discount rate carries a lower APR than a supplier’s alternative source of funds.
• The supplier can better manage credit risk and adhere to concentration limits from a specific customer by selling receivables to Regions on a nonrecourse basis.
