As part of its ongoing digitisation strategy Emirates NBD has launched a digital Supply Chain Financing platform for its corporate and institutional clientele.
Emirates NBD’s smartSCF platform will offer businesses in the UAE a set of integrated, automated tools designed to enhance and simplify their supply chain collaborations while optimising working capital and reducing transaction costs.
The platform enables clients to benefit from improved cash flow efficiencies while their suppliers benefit from early payment of their invoices, without the need for collateral and at competitive rates.
The smartSCF platform has been designed to help increase operational efficiencies for both corporate clients and their suppliers. Suppliers can seamlessly self-on-board via the digital supplier on-boarding toolkit, the first of its kind in the region.
Furthermore, smartSCF has enhanced data analytics tools such as interactive dashboards and customised reports which helps clients gain visibility on the program from supplier on boarding to payment and reconciliation as well as their cashflows.
