Applications

How do I check if my business qualifies for Ebury’s financing solutions?

If the annual revenue of your business is more than £1m, has a tangible net worth of £100,000, and displays a healthy trading record for at least two years, you can apply for Ebury financing

How can I apply?

The best way to get started is to get in touch with one of our relationship managers and discuss your business needs.

Do I have to provide security or a guarantee for the credit line?

We don’t take ownership of your goods or require security against your business. In rare cases, we may require a personal or cross-company guarantee to provide financing.

What documents are required to access the credit line?

To assess your business, we will need your full accounts for the last two years, management accounts for the past 12 months, and your aged debtors and creditors lists. To ensure your credit account remains active, we also request regular financial updates.

How long does it take to set up the financing account?

Once you’ve submitted your information, the process usually takes up to two weeks, though we’ll always aim to move faster for you whenever possible.

Will Ebury’s financing conflict with my existing banking relationships?

No. Since we don’t ask for security, our financing solution should not conflict with your other banking and finance relationships.

After applying

How long does it take for the funds to be paid?

Once your account and credit line are set up, funds are available to draw and pay your suppliers as soon as you sign your T&Cs.

What are the transaction sizes and credit terms?

We offer a flexible credit line for up to 150 days to fund your purchases and support your global growth ambitions.

Can I use Ebury financing to fund my domestic purchases?

Yes, you can use our solution to fund both your international and domestic purchases.

Can I choose which invoices I want Ebury to pay?

Yes, you can choose which invoices you would like us to finance.

Can I use Ebury’s financing to pay deposits to suppliers?

Yes, you have the freedom to choose how you pay your suppliers, whether you need to cover a deposit or settle the full invoice up-front.

Can I use Ebury's financing to pay all my suppliers?

Yes, provided they are not related business entities (i.e., shared ownership), and they meet our supplier criteria.

Can I use Ebury’s solution to finance all my clients’ invoices?

Yes, you can if it is within your credit limit.

Repayment

How do I repay Ebury?

You can repay us within 150 days, along with interest accrued on the line, in your local currency at a rate pre-decided and mentioned in your terms and conditions.

How is the interest charged?

Interest is quoted on a 30-day basis and applied daily after an initial 30-day minimum period.

For example: if you were to use £100,000 of financing at a rate of 1% per 30 days, your total repayment after 150 days would be £105,000. If you chose to repay after 60 days, the total would be £102,000.
