What is TReDS?

TReDS is an institutional mechanism set up in order to facilitate the trade receivable financing of MSMEs from corporate buyers through multiple financiers. MSMEs, despite their important role in contributing to the Indian economy, continue to face constraints in obtaining adequate finance. One big factor which affects the ability of MSMEs to convert trade receivables into liquid funds are slow paying invoices. To address the financing related issues faced by MSMEs in India, RBI in 2014 introduced the concept of TReDS, a mechanism of trade receivables financing for MSMEs on a secure digital platform

Invoice discounting on TReDS involves three participants MSME Supplier, Corporate Buyer and Financier. The invoice is uploaded by either buyer or supplier depending on the method of discounting and is approved by the other party. Once the invoice is approved the financiers on the platform start to bid on the invoice. The supplier accepts the bid and the discounted amount is credited in its account in T+1 day, where T is the day of acceptance.
