Banks diverge on dynamic discounting

With appreciation of the merits of dynamic discounting continuing to grow, attention has turned to the extent to which banks are committed to supporting this growth and how to maximize the value of the data generated.

The growth in the use of dynamic discounting is highlighted in the most recent AP & Working Capital Report published by PayStream Advisors, which found that the proportion of companies using it to capture rebates and discounts increased by 50% last year compared with 2016.

Dynamic discounting gives large, cash-rich buyers flexibility over how and when they pay suppliers, by allowing them to use their excess cash to obtain discounts to pay the seller, usually a smaller company, earlier.
