8 How does SCF work? PO 1 I need cash Invoice Buyer 2 Invoice Suppliers 6 3 4 5 SCF platform 1. Send purchase order (business as usual) 2. Send goods/services and invoice (business as usual) 3. Approve invoice and present on platform (This is new) 4. Suppliers needs cash and requests early payment 5. ING pays invoice amount minus a small fee 6. Buyer pays ING invoice amount at due date
SCF principles Suppliers (which typically have a worse credit rating than the Buyer) have the option to sell their trade receivables on the Buyer to ING: - before maturity, thereby getting access to non-recourse liquidity on-demand - at a discount based on the Buyer s rating, resulting in lower financing cost Method of working capital enhancement The Buyer: - can monetise the value created for its suppliers by negotiating extended trade payable terms or increased discounts - settles the payment at par of the trade receivables with ING at maturity date ING: - receives a margin reflecting the discount Non-recourse funding to key trade suppliers of ING Corporate clients Principles Repayment relies on the relatively stronger credit quality of the Buyer Robust legal, accounting and tax framework Operate through a dedicated web-based platform -> Easy access for all! 9
Supplier segmentation mechanism Typically an investment grade Buyer purchases over 70% with non-investment grade suppliers The larger the difference in funding costs between Buyer and Suppliers, the more value can be created 600 Investment grade Buyer Non-investment grade Suppliers 7% 500 Spend 6% 400 Cost of Funds 5% Supplier s average funding cost 300 4% 3% Funding cost differential 200 2% Buyer s funding cost 100 1% 0 AAA AA+ AA A+ A A- BBB+ BBB BB+ BB AA- BBB- BB- B+ B B- 0% 10
