Bank Statement for Accounts Receivable Financing

Frequently Asked Questions
- How is accounts receivable financing different from invoice factoring?
- AR financing is typically a revolving line of credit secured by your receivables, while invoice factoring involves selling specific invoices to a factor at a discount for immediate cash.
- Why do lenders want bank statements in addition to an AR aging report?
- Statements verify that invoiced payments actually arrive on schedule, which validates the aging report and reduces the lender's risk of financing against unreliable receivables.
- What percentage of receivables can I typically borrow against?
- Lenders commonly advance 70 to 90 percent of eligible receivables, depending on customer creditworthiness and how consistently your bank statements show those invoices being paid.
- Does AR financing affect my relationship with customers?
- Usually not — unlike factoring, where a third party may contact your customers directly, AR financing typically keeps your existing collection relationship intact.
