Bringing buyers and suppliers together
Because Fifth Third serves as an intermediary in the transaction, the relationship between the buyer and the supplier is strengthened. Both parties achieve a favorable outcome, making a healthier, more stable supply chain.
Providing value through purchasing
We can lead or participate in purchasing approved payables and trade receivables and facilitate payment at a discounted rate based on the buyer’s superior credit rating.
- An agreement to purchase is made through a purchase order or contract.
- The supplier sends the invoice for the goods, and Fifth Third obtains the buyer’s approval.
- Fifth Third discounts the invoice and sends the funds to the supplier without recourse.
- At maturity, Fifth Third collects payment from the buyer.
