PR - JPMorgan Chase and GE Commercial Finance Team on Global Factoring

JPMorgan Chase and GE Commercial Finance today announced that they have formed an alliance to offer global accounts receivable purchasing solutions to JPMorgan Chase’s trade finance customers based in United States, Canada, Mexico and Latin America. By adding GE Commercial Finance’s cross-border accounts receivable purchasing solutions to its portfolio, the alliance further positions JPMorgan Chase’s trade and logistics offering as the most comprehensive in the trade bank field. The firm already offers a wide array of trade solutions for importers and exporters and is unique among banks in its ability to offer integrated supply chain and logistics management products and service. 

Through a referral program, JPMorgan Chase Global Trade Services, part of the firm’s Treasury Services business, now can offer its clients GE Commercial Finance’s market leading cross-border accounts receivable purchasing solutions. By selling accounts receivable on a non-recourse basis, clients can increase liquidity and eliminate payment risk. GE Commercial Finance purchases multiple obligor receivables portfolios on a one time or revolving basis.

Mid-to-large corporations accessing the Global Accounts Receivable Purchasing Program can benefit from accelerating their cash conversion cycle, reducing Days Sales Outstanding (DSO), transferring payment risk in developed and emerging markets, and ultimately increasing control over their working capital requirements without affecting their debt ratio.

"To fulfill the immediate needs of our clients and further deepen our trade and logistics offering, JPMorgan Chase is partnering with industry expert GE Commercial Finance to address the significant market demand for receivables financing," said Bruce Proctor, senior vice president, Global Trade Services product executive, JPMorgan Chase. "The alliance enables us to further expand into supply chain management and financing and strengthen the unique position we hold in the trade arena."

"GE Commercial Finance’s market-leading cross-border structured trade finance solutions are built on world class risk management and global infrastructure. As a global provider, we bring local knowledge, deep industrial expertise, and extensive compliance and regulatory knowledge," said Paul DeDomenico, senior managing director, working capital solutions, GE Commercial Finance. "Through this alliance, GE Commercial Finance will generate additional growth and leverage our coverage and scale."
