What Is TReDS?

The digital revolution has shortened distances and expanded business outreach. To expand business while keeping it stable, having steady cash flow is the most essential thing and critical for the growth of Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs). To give a boost to MSMEs and improve liquidity for their functioning, the Trade Receivables Discounting System (TReDS) was brought into being. This initiative is RBI-regulated and was introduced in 2015 and provides an electronic platform for MSMEs to discount their invoices and access working capital.

DTX, a forerunner in supply chain financing, offers a seamless RBI-licensed TReDS platform that empowers businesses with faster invoice discounting, improved financial stability, and hassle-free transactions.

TReDS, an electronic platform helps with the financing of trade receivables for MSMEs from corporate buyers through multiple financiers. It significantly reduces MSMEs dependency on traditional credit lines and ensures quick cash flows in turn improves liquidity and operational efficiency.

The TReDS platform allows MSMEs to list their invoices, which multiple financiers can competitively bid on, giving MSMEs the flexibility to choose the best discounting option. Bidding on invoices not only brings down financing costs but also creates arbitrage opportunities for financiers as it allows financiers to earn returns.

TReDS brings financial stability, ensures timely payments to suppliers, reduces working capital constraints, and fosters stronger buyer-supplier relationships. Additionally, the platform ensures regulatory compliance by maintaining a transparent, digital, and standardized process for invoice financing, aligning with RBI guidelines.
