Factoring is a financial transaction and a type of debtor finance in which
a business sells its accounts receivable (i.e., invoices) to a third party
(called a factor) at a discount. A business will sometimes factor its receivable assets to meet its present and immediate cash needs. Forfaiting is a factoring arrangement used in international trade finance by exporters who wish to sell their receivables to a forfeiter. Factoring is commonly referred to as accounts receivable factoring, invoice factoring, and sometimes accounts receivable financing. Accounts receivable financing is a term more accurately used to describe a form of asset based lending against accounts receivable. Factoring is not the same as invoice discounting (which is called an "Assignment of Accounts Receivable" in American accounting as propagated by FASB within GAAP). Factoring is the sale of receivables, whereas invoice discounting ("assignment of accounts receivable" in American accounting) is a borrowing that involves the use of the accounts receivable assets as collateral for the loan.

A pass-through certificates (PTC) is an instrument that evidences the ownership of two or more equipment trust certificates. In other words, equipment trust certificates may be bundled into a pass-through structure as a means of diversifying the asset pool and/or increasing the size of the offering. The principal and interest payments on the equipment trust certificates are "passed through" to certificate holders.A Pass Through Certificate is an instrument which signifies transfer of interest in receivables in favor of the holder of the Pass Through Certificate. The investor in a Pass Through transaction acquire the receivables subject to all their fluctuation, prepayments etc. the material risks and rewards in the asset portfolio, such as the risk of interest rate variations, risk of prepayment etc., transferred to the investor. In short, the term "pass-through" means the issuing company, such as Ginnie Mae has received money from the homeowner and passed it to the investor. Supply Chain Finance A set of technology-based business and financing processes that link the various parties in a transaction the buyer, seller and financing institution to lower financing costs and improved business efficiency. Supply chain finance (SCF) provides short-term credit that optimizes working capital for both the buyer and the seller. Supply chain finance generally involves the use of a technology platform in order to automate transactions and track the invoice approval and settlement process from initiation to completion.
The growing popularity of SCF has been largely driven by the
increasing globalization and complexity of the supply chain, especially in industries such as automotive, manufacturing and the retail sector.
The supplier sends their invoices to the buyer using the
current policy and methodology. The buyer approves the invoices and uploads the approved invoice data (its payables as well as any applicable payment offsets such as credit/debit memos) to the SCiSupplier platform. At any time, the supplier is able to log on the supply chain finance platform via web browser to see all the approved invoices. The supplier may do nothing and funds will settle directly in the suppliers bank account on the original maturity date, or the supplier may sell or trade his receivables to a funder on theSCiSupplier platform in return for advance payment. If traded before maturity, 100 percent of the invoiceless a small financing fee or discountis transferred electronically to the suppliers bank account. In most cases, the supplier is paid on the next business day. Since funds from the financial institution are advanced based on the buyers promise to pay on the original maturity date, financing rates are based only on the buyers risk, not the suppliers. Therefore, financing rates are very attractiveabout 10 times lower than factoring or other traditional financing solutions. At maturity, the buyer pays the full invoice amount to the supplier or respective funder on the SCiSupplier platform.
