From the following statement (page 14), “ The Audi SCF platform is an online tool that simplifies the relationship between suppliers and buyers through 3 main features:

• Invoice Collection that helps buyers settle their invoices to their suppliers through the platform.

• Distributor Financing which allows buyers to benefit from a credit limit at competitive interest rates to finance their invoices whenever they are short on cash, and extend the maturity dates of their dues.

• Reverse Factoring to help small scale suppliers get immediate access to their future dues by financing their invoices, while the buyer pays the Bank at maturity or at extended maturity”
