faq
Frequently asked questions and the answers of course ;)
Q
How many times can I request financing?
As many times as you need. We’re here to support you for all your short-term treasury needs.
Q
Do I have to use the total financing offered to me?
Nope, only use what you need and pay for what you use.
Q
Who are typical Defacto clients?
Any company with recurring short-term treasury needs for accounts payable or receivable. A few typical use cases include:
You need to pay for stock but don’t want to tap into your working capital
You’re in need of cash while waiting to receive payment from an invoiced client
You need to pay a supplier on time but don’t want to upfront the cash now
Q
How is Defacto able to take on riskier, small business clients?
For traditional players, the underwriting process and loan services are mostly manual, hence with a high fixed cost per a loan. Thanks to our embedded API, we’re able to get a more automated and accurate lending score that ultimately decreases our operational costs.
Q
How do I pay for Defacto?
We automatically bill you monthly for all reimbursed loans. For example, any loan repaid last month will be billed this month.
