Bill Discounting

Bill Discounting is a major trade activity in which the unpaid invoices of a corporation that are supposed to be paid at a future date are sold to a financier (a bank or financial institution). In exchange for a discount or small fee, it allows the sellers to get funds earlier for working capital financing. It also assists the bank to earn some revenue.

Bills are discounted by charging a discount/fee that a bank takes from a seller to unlock funds before the credit period expires. The seller's client pays the entire amount to the bank at the due date. For both the seller and the buyer of the goods, discounting of bills of exchange is a win-win scenario as the buyer receives a credit period against the letter of credit and the seller receives his advance payment. It is often applicable when a buyer buys goods from the seller, and the payment is to be made via a letter of credit, also known as LC discounting.

This leads to fewer administrative charges, fees, and interest. The interest and fee are determined based on the buyer's probability of non-payment, so a funder will look at the customer's creditworthiness and trading background rather than the company it is funding for payment. The interest rates of bill discounting are decided based on many factors such as the risk factor, the financial institute.
