Factoring means the purchase and assignment, prior to their due date, of short-term receivables with deferred payment, evidenced with a commercial contract and an invoice.
OTP Bank purchases your receivables for an amount less the interest due on the period between the date of the advance payment and the due date (i.e. at a discounted value). OTP Bank stipulates a right of recourse during the factoring process.
How does it benefit your company?
We grant you free use sources by the purchase of deferred revenue, which is from selling, service, or because of a contract or the law.
Faktoring
OTP Bank concludes both case-based and master agreements for a factoring credit line. We recommend that you conclude a master agreement if your company has a stable and permanent contract-based supplier-buyer relationship with the obligor. Based on the master agreement for a factoring credit line, OTP Bank accepts invoices for factoring up to a determined amount within a set period of time. The credit line may also be revolving credit within a one-year period.
How does it benefit your company?
