invoicemart is the brand under which invoicemart Ltd offers all its products and services.

It is a digital platform based on Trade Receivables Discounting System (TReDS), which is a system instituted by the RBI to improve cash flows to MSMEs through factoring (and reverse factoring).

invoicemart connects buyers, MSME sellers and financiers so as to ensure MSMEs receive quick payments for their invoices.

invoicemart Ltd. is a joint venture between Axis Bank and mjunction services, which has been licenced by the RBI to operate its TReDS (Trade Receivables Discounting System) platform, under the Payment and Settlement Systems Act, 2007.

The objective of invoicemart is to facilitate financing of invoices of MSMEs drawn on their buyers by way of factoring.

Suppliers categorised as MSMEs, corporate buyers and financiers (banks/NBFC factors) can participate on Invoicemart.

Factoring is a process which enables suppliers to reduce the payment period for their goods/services. It does this by introducing a financier between the supplier and the corporate buyer. The financier finances the supplier against the invoice/bill of exchange raised on the corporate buyer for the goods/services provided by the supplier.

In reverse factoring, a buyer raises an invoice, as opposed to factoring in which a seller raises the invoice on the system. The financier finances the supplier against the invoice/bill of exchange raised on the corporate buyer for the goods/services provided by the supplier.

Yes. The platform shall facilitate receivables factoring and reverse factoring.

Yes, the platform is for MSMEs from both manufacturing and services sectors.

Traditional invoice discounting usually involves a tripartite agreement between a buyer, seller and financier. Thus every buyer-seller-financier combination requires a different agreement, which is cumbersome.

  • With TReDS, every participant has to sign a one-time agreement with the platform itself. Businesses, thus, can focus on carrying out the factoring transaction without worrying about the administrative complexities;
  • By providing an auction-based platform involving multiple financiers, TReDS ensures that the MSME sellers receive funds at the most competitive rates in the market – in other words, it enables efficient price discovery;
  • TReDS offers a digital platform for factoring and reverse factoring, which makes it fast, efficient and convenient to use;
  • It can be integrated with the existing ERP system of buyers/sellers, enabling automatic uploading of invoices and subsequent settlements.
invoicemart is governed by the Reserve Bank of India, as per the regulatory framework put in place under the Payment and settlement Systems Act 2007.
