How does InstantPay work?

Answer

You continue to send invoices to your customer using the same method and details as today. Once the invoice enters your customer’s system, InstantPay’s algorithms decide if it can pay you early. The software approves and sends payment for over 98% of invoices within one business day.

You do not need to change your bank account or set up a credit facility.

Once paid, InstantPay waits for standard terms and then collects the full invoice value from your customer.

For example, assuming your standard terms are 60 days:

  1. You submit an invoice to your customer.
  2. Your customer enters it into their system.
  3. InstantPay authorises an early payment.
  4. InstantPay immediately sends your payment (with a small administration fee deducted).
  5. InstantPay waits 60 days and takes the payment of your invoice from your customer.

What events trigger an adjustment?

Adjustments can occur whenever your customer uses a credit note or debit note to settle their account, or if there are any changes or cancellations of invoices we’ve prepaid.

Why do adjustments happen?

We prepay your invoice as early as possible, however your customer will keep it open for amendment/dispute until it is approved according to their internal processes which can result in a shortfall.
