  • What does CeleraFi do?
    CeleraFi's FastPay solution enables government suppliers to get paid early and government to pay the supplier invoices later. Suppliers get paid in as little as 15 days from invoice, and government can pay as late as 90 days. For government suppliers, instead of borrowing money from a third-party using a static discounting or factoring method, CeleraFi enables the supplier to be paid early on approved invoices net of an agreed convenience fee without any restrictive and complex obligations typical of factoring, supply chain finance, bank loans, or asset based lending. For governments, CeleraFi enables governments to increase their daily liquidity by 15-30 days per invoice by extending the payment terms on the approved invoices paid by CeleraFi to FastPay enrolled suppliers. By using CeleraFi FastPay, suppliers can access on-demand funding for your business at a lower cost than other options, such as factoring. CeleraFi is NOT: A factoring service Supply chain finance An electronic payment alternative A traditional bank loan or asset-based lending
