Instant Factoring is the first fintech factoring platform in Romania and South-East Europe, and its mission is to try to support the small businesses and microenterprises, by supplying accessible financing solutions of invoices – the factoring. The online platform allows the analysis of the invoice that can be financed in a two-hour time window for invoices up to RON 10,000 and 24 hours for those up to RON 250,000 and, in 24 hours at most from the moment the financing was approved, the client has the money in his account.
The short time of obtaining the approval and receiving the money is possible due to the technological solutions we have implemented. Instant Factoring holds a proprietary internal model of completely automated credit scoring, as well as predictive analysis, for making risk related decisions. The information and financial data are extracted in real time from over 25 public sources in order to assess both the client’s risk and the buyer’s risk, as well as to offer total price transparency in advance.
