What It Is

SpareBank 1 Factoring is a factoring and accounts receivable service for businesses. Its core function is not as a payment gateway, but rather the management and financing of company invoices. It is positioned to help businesses improve liquidity and cash flow by turning accounts receivable generated from credit sales into funds that are available more quickly.

Core Capabilities

The service includes invoice management, invoice financing, credit checks, credit protection, and export factoring. After companies submit electronic copies of invoices through its online system, FactoLink®, they may, if eligible, receive advance financing of up to 90% of the invoice amount. The system also supports checking the credit status of Norwegian customers, applying for credit insurance, controlling whether overdue interest is charged, and initiating collection processes. KundeWeb is designed for paying customers, providing access to original invoices, outstanding balances, and communication channels.

Pricing

Its pricing model is relatively clear but not transparent: invoice management is charged per document or invoice; if invoice financing is used, interest is charged on the advanced amount, and a facility commission is charged based on the approved financing limit, with several additional fees charged according to standard rates. The official website does not disclose specific interest rates, fee percentages, or minimum charges.

Pros and Cons

Its advantages include a high financing ratio. The text states that, compared with bank overdrafts, it typically offers lower interest rates and a higher financing rate. The financing scale can also grow as accounts receivable increase, offering good flexibility. At the same time, it integrates invoice management, customer credit assessment, credit insurance, and payment follow-up, which can reduce administrative burden for businesses. Its limitations are that it is mainly suitable for B2B credit sales; advance-payment invoicing and staged project invoicing are not suitable. Financing for overseas invoices must be accompanied by credit protection through the service. Publicly available materials do not specify details on APIs, ERP integrations, settlement times, or regulatory licenses.

Who It’s For

It is suitable for Norwegian businesses with a large volume of B2B credit sales, substantial or rapidly growing accounts receivable, frequent use of bank overdraft limits, or a need to improve working capital. It is also suitable for companies that need to manage credit risk for export customers.
