Mechanism:

The seller concludes a factoring agreement with UBB Factoring and informs its buyer in writing of the assignment of all its present and future receivables in favour of UBB Factoring

The buyer confirms to UBB Factoring its consent to the assignment of the receivables and that it is going to transfer the payments under all assigned invoices to an account of UBB Factoring

The seller delivers goods and/or services to buyer, for which it issues deferred payment invoices

Supplier provides copies of the issued invoices to UBB Factoring, along with the delivery documents

UBB Factoring will transfer in advance to the supplier a pre-agreed percentage of the value of the assigned invoices to its current account with UBB

UBB Factoring will administer and collect the receivables, originating from the assigned invoices

The buyer will make a payment, equaling 100% of the value of the invoice to the indicated account of UBB Factoring, the advance payment will repay and will transfer the residual amount to an account of the client

Upon non-recourse factoring, in case of the payer’s non-payment, the Factor company will cover the loss up to the amount of a pre-defined percentage of the receivable’s value and up to a pre-approved credit limit for the respective payer
