Introduction to the Siemens SCF Program The Siemens SCF Program makes use of a technology platform that links Siemens and its Suppliers & Sub-contractors with a 3 rd party financier (Orbian*) to provide cost-effective receivables financing to those Suppliers & Sub-contractors.

To utilize this option, an additional discounting fee of.12% p.a.
