3. Launch of Confirming in Spain
CONTEXT:
90’s crisis – Spain – long payment terms.
Traditional Factoring quite extensive in Spain
NEED:
Control as many receivables from strong and reliable debtors.
Turn high-risk factoring transactions into higher quality assignments.
SOLUTION:
Due diligence over the receivable.
Confirmation of validity and enforceability.
Confirmation of payment.

4. The Mechanism was based on Factoring
The SUPPLIER invoiced the buyer as usual.
The BUYER confirmed the BANK that goods were received and invoice was good to pay.
BANK offered the SUPPLIER a simple factoring transaction due to:
Particular receivables vs whole turnover
officially recorded and confirmed for payment by the buyer
undisputable receivables
100% value /advance payment – less purchase price
off-balance sheet for supplier
transfer of ownership of the receivable to the BANK
Covering insolvency risk of the Buyer
Money collection made on a direct debit to the buyer’s bank account.

8. How FCI is getting involved in SCF market
FCI specific 4-corner model
Regular 3-corner model
FCI members currently active in SCF can use the FCIreverse solution as a way to do business in more countries
To meet both local regulations and KYC requirements, a 4-corner model is advised to start international SCF
The EF can take different roles in this setup which needs to be decided upon by both IF and EF
FCI members currently not active in offering SCF, will be able to start offering SCF domestically .
This way, the FCIreverse solution can be used to gain initial experience in offering SCF
There is no need for other FCI members to participate in this setup, hence a ’regular’ 3-corner model.
