Supply Chain Finance (SCF) is a partnership with selected corporate clients to provide working capital support for their chosen suppliers and buyers. The strength of the client’s supply chain linkage (i.e. the commercial arrangements and relationships between buyer and seller) is given due consideration in evaluating credit quality of suppliers/buyers.

Supplier Finance Programmes (SFP)

Under the SFP solution, suppliers can choose to be paid upfront by the bank while the corporate fulfils its payment obligation on the due dates. A large number of clients are today using SFP to improve their working capital management, reduce cost of materials, reduce excessive reliance on documentary trade, rationalise their supplier base and loyalty.

FISFP is designed for the Financial Institutions that would like to provide supply chain finance solutions to their Buyer/Importer Clients who procure from Asia, Africa and the Middle East.

It is most appropriate for those with no or limited geographical reach in Asia, Africa and the Middle East but have clients who have large procurement from these regions.

We will provide financing to suppliers in these locations based on arrangements between Standard Chartered and the Financial Institutions partner.
