PANEL: When SCF meets payments: how payment capabilities are reshaping working capital flexibility

As corporates look for more flexible ways to manage working capital, supplier finance models are evolving beyond traditional, one-size-fits-all structures. Increasingly, the ability to connect financing with payment capabilities can influence how programmes are structured, delivered, and scaled.

This session will explore what changes when a SCF provider is part of a group that includes a regulated payments entity, and how payment capabilities can affect the legal, operational, and commercial structure of working capital solutions.

Drawing on Orbian’s acquisition of Roger, Markus Schiffers and Adam Šoukal will discuss how SCF and payments are coming closer together, why this matters for corporates and suppliers, and what it could mean for the next generation of flexible working capital programmes.
