Tradewind Finance Joins FCI’s Global Factoring Summit in Mumbai

Tradewind Finance is pleased to share that it was invited to participate in FCI’s Global Factoring Summit held in Mumbai, India on February 27. The summit gathered factoring companies, senior banking executives, and trade marketplace providers both from inside and outside of India and also welcomed various Indian government officials. As a longtime member of FCI, the global representative body for factoring, Tradewind took the opportunity to network with industry leaders at the event, exchange market insights and trends, and explore partnerships where a two-factor system is required in import-export transactions.

Peter Mulroy, Secretary General at FCI, and Neal Harm, FCI’s Deputy Secretary General, delivered the summit’s opening remarks, which were followed by panel discussions and talks on topics including, ‘Risk Mitigation Tools of Trade Receivables’, ‘Best Practices’ across different markets, ‘The Importance of incorporating ESG in Supply Chain Finance’, and ‘The experience of implementing a state-of-the-art receivables application in India’. Furthermore, the summit educated local and regional players on developments and industry updates taking place in India.

Attending the event from the Tradewind team were Peter Maerevoet, CEO Asia; Soheil Zali, Regional CEO Middle East and South Asia; Ragi Naveen, Regional Credit & Risk Director – Middle East and South Asia; and Shreejita Seth, Marketing Manager at the firm.

Through the summit, Tradewind was able to strengthen its commitment of providing informed cross-border receivable finance for India’s growing businesses, as well as for importers and exporters in other markets around the globe.

应收账款融资和票据融资的区别?

应收账款融资和票据融资都是企业常用的融资方式,但它们在融资标的、操作流程和适用场景上存在一些显著区别: 1、融资标的不同 应收账款融资:以企业的应收账款为融资基础,企业将尚未收回的货款(即应收账款)转让或质押给银行或金融机构,从而获得融资。应收账款融资是基于买卖合同中未来应收的款项。 票据融资:主要以企业持有的商业票据(如商业承兑汇票或银行承兑汇票)为融资标的。企业将票据转让或贴现给银行以获取资金。票据融资是基于现有票据的信用。 2、融资方式不同: 应收账款融资:包括保理、应收账款质押贷款等形式。企业可以转让应收账款给保理公司(有追索权或无追索权),或者以应收账款作抵押向银行申请贷款。 票据融资:主要方式是票据贴现和票据质押。票据贴现是企业将未到期的票据转让给银行,并获得票据面值减去贴现利息后的资金;票据质押则是企业以票据作为抵押,向银行申请贷款。 3、适用条件不同: 应收账款融资:适用于持有大量应收账款、且客户信誉较高的企业,尤其在赊销、分期付款的情况下,可通过应收账款融资获得流动资金。 票据融资:适用于持有票据的企业,尤其是持有银行承兑汇票等信用较高的票据,能迅速通过贴现或质押获取短期资金。 4、融资风险和成本: 应收账款融资:融资风险较高,因为应收账款存在坏账的可能性,银行会对买方资信情况进行严格评估。融资成本取决于应收账款的质量及买方的信用状况。
