Dynamic Discounting FAQ
What buyers ask.
What yield do teams typically achieve?
Deployed at scale, dynamic discounting yields a meaningful APR-equivalent on the cash deployed, depending on vendor mix and how aggressive the curve is. The deployment cap is set by the CFO, and the system never goes past it.
Which vendors does this apply to?
Any vendor who opts in voluntarily for an earlier payment in exchange for a discount. It runs alongside your normal payment terms rather than overriding them.
How is the discount posted in the books?
The discount posts as a reduction in the bill cost (under IFRS 15 and SFRS(I) 15), not as financing income. The discount creates a vendor credit in the ledger.
