Orbian: The Orbian Advantage

As the global leader in supply chain finance, the Orbian SCF Solution offers our clients some key benefits that cannot be found with any other solution provider.

Universal funding model:

Virtually unlimited program capacity, lowest cost, and maximum flexibility...

Orbian provides a unique trust-enabled, universal funding model. This model allows all global lenders to participate directly in a buyer’s SCF program at no cost (no technology requirements or back-office invoice management).

Maximize Capacity - With Orbian, buyers select from all global lenders (bank and non-bank) for program participation and eliminate reliance on secondary syndication markets.

Minimize Discount Rate - Orbian virtually eliminates technology and operation costs for lenders and creates a competitive pricing environment for program participation, ensuring the lowest possible discount rate for our clients’ SCF programs.

Flexibility - The Orbian model ensures buyers have access to the lowest cost source of funds at all times and can make adjustments in lender participation without impacting program operations or suppliers in any way.

Seamless technology implementation

Leverage investment and controls of your existing ERP and A/P systems...

Unlike other SCF offerings, Orbian integrates seamlessly with your existing ERP and A/P systems by becoming a payment type within that system. The Orbian method delivers a highly automated, straight-through-process allowing buyers to leverage the investment and security controls of their existing systems. This also ensures that the Orbian solution has minimal (if any) impact on the buyer’s current business processes.

Enhanced supplier relations

Guarantee a one-time enrollment process and instill confidence in availability of funds

With Orbian, buyers can guarantee suppliers will only have to enroll in their SCF program once. Suppliers enroll directly with Orbian, so changes in lender participation have no impact on suppliers at all.

Also, buyers can give suppliers 100% confidence in the availability of SCF funds. The Orbian universal funding model has allowed Orbian to be the only SCF provider to never delay cash or fail to deliver cash to suppliers wishing to discount receivables. This confidence is critical to SCF program success.

Payment process optimization

Employ a single automated and streamlined process for all supplier payments...

With Orbian, buyers initiate a single payment item at maturity to pay all invoices for all SCF suppliers regardless of suppliers’ receivables discounting activities. Buyers reduce risks associated with multiple payment methods and drastically reduce costs with a single payment item per day.

Risk mitigation

Mitigate business and credit risks inherent in other SCF offerings...

Typically in other SCF offerings, the buyer’s financial supply chain is exposed to business and credit risks. What happens if my provider no longer wishes to be in the SCF business? What happens to the program funding rate if my provider’s cost of capital goes up?

Orbian, by delivering a back-up provider, parallel servicer, and trust-controlled cash flow solution, mitigates these risks and ensures that our clients’ financial supply chain is not exposed to any 3rd party business or credit risks.
