Under block discounting arrangements, a bank offers specialist finance companies discounted advances which allow clients to operate their own finance schemes.
The block discounting facility was recently launched by Wesleyan Bank and is a wholesale finance facility primarily aimed at alternative finance companies wanting to release capital from future income streams.
These include businesses funding hire purchase, lease and loan agreements.
Richard Baker, head of block discounting at Wesleyan Bank, said: “This should be a really exciting year for Wesleyan Bank’s Block Discounting business. Our launch into this sector allows us to further enhance our product offering through niche receivable solutions, which will assist our partners to provide additional funding to their customers.
