What is SCF?
Supply chain finance (SCF) is a form of vendor financing that can be
used to pay for the flow of goods or services from the supplier to the
end customer. It also refers to a method of financing the purchase of
goods and services for a company's own use, as well as loans made to
fund working capital needs in companies with payments terms greater
than 60 days.

Supply chain finance is a sector that allows suppliers of large firms
to obtain financing. It is also known as trade finance, or factoring.
Supply chain finance is a way to finance the supply chain of a large
firm, or it can be used to help fund your own business expenses.
Supply chain finance has become increasingly vital in today’s
economy due to increased globalization and technological advances
that allow for more efficient logistics systems. These advancements
have led many companies to outsource their logistics operations,
which has created exponential growth in demand for supply chain
financing services
4. It is estimated that the global market for supply
chain finance could be as large as one trillion dollars.
•The global market for supply chain financing is estimated to
be as large as one trillion dollars, according to the supply
chain finance industry. This is a testament to the fact that it's
still in its infancy and growing rapidly.
•The industry has seen rapid growth over the past several years;
it's estimated that this growth will continue for at least another
five years or so.
5. Banks, asset managers and corporates are some of the
players in this market.
Banks, asset managers and corporates are some of the players in this
market. Banks account for a significant part of funding in supply chain
finance as they provide loans to suppliers. These loans are then paid back
over time by the supplier. In addition, banks also provide liquidity to
suppliers through lines of credit that can be used during times when
working capital needs arise or during seasonal peaks or troughs. Banks
are also involved in the securitization of SCF which means that they sell
tranches of their portfolio (bundled loans) on a secondary market and
pass on some of these funds to other investors who might want exposure
to SCF without taking on all the risk directly themselves
6. SCF has many advantages for suppliers, buyers and
banks
• SCF is a way for suppliers to increase their own cash flow,
allowing them to invest in their business.
• SCF is a way for buyers to reduce their working capital
requirements and improve the efficiency of cash flows.
•SCF is also an excellent way for banks to ensure that they're
providing funding at optimum lending costs; this means that
they should be able to offer better rates than traditional loans
or overdrafts, while also reducing their credit risk exposure.
7. Conclusion
Supply chain finance has many advantages for suppliers,
buyers and banks. It allows suppliers to access capital without
having to sell their receivables or assets in a secondary
market. For buyers, SCF lowers transaction costs by reducing
the need for them to post collateral or provide letters of credit.
Finally, banks that provide SCF services can earn higher
interest rates on their loans than they would have earned
elsewhere in their portfolios.
