General Questions

How does quickpaid work?

Register your company in the quickpaid portal, complete the KYC and apply for a quickpaid limit.  Within the approved limit, you can immediately upload the supplier invoice and choose when you want to back us back, 60, 90 or 120 days. 

 

We contact your supplier and offer immediate payment of the invoice(s). In case your supplier gives you an early-payment discount (Skonto), the discount will be fully passed on to you. 

Any cash discount associated with an early payment benefits you, lowering both your purchasing and financing costs. If you still have available credit limit, you can easily and flexibly upload more supplier invoices as needed. 

What are the advantages of quickpaid?

Supplier contact

How will my supplier be notified that I use quickpaid?

Your supplier will be informed by us via e-mail that payment of his invoice is to be taken over immediately by quickpaid. 

You are always welcome to contact your suppliers yourself and notify them about the payment service provided by quickpaid – which supplier is not happy about quick payment? 

Why does the supplier need to be contacted?

In order to pay the submitted invoice to the supplier, the supplier’s consent is legally required. However, this consent (consent for the immediate payment of open invoices) is only required once and is also valid for all further invoices submitted. The consent for the immediate payment of open invoices is sent to the supplier by e-mail and must be signed by an authorised representative.

The consent to immediate payment is called consent for the immediate payment of open invoices​, which is a contract allowing the supplier to transfer their claim to a third party. 

You are welcome to download an example of the consent for the immediate payment of open invoices if you want to share it with your supplier in advance.   

Payment & Pricing

When does quickpaid pay my invoice?

quickpaid pays your supplier invoice immediately (on the same working day) after the supplier has signed the declaration of assignment.

When is my repayment due?

You can choose whether your payment term is extended by an additional 60, 90 or 120 days, up to a maximum total term of 150 days from the invoicing date.

If you choose 120-days, you will pay back us back in 3 instalments – 30% after 60 days, 30% after 90 days and the remaining 40% after 120 days.

Ideally, you only pay for your goods when you have the money from your customers on your account. In this way, the liquidity gap between payment by the end customer and payment for the goods or services can be optimally closed.

Can I change the selected payment terms?

Once you have selected and confirmed the desired payment term for an invoice, it is no longer possible to change the term retrospectively. However, for each new invoice you have the flexibility to choose the payment term that best suits your needs.

What does quickpaid cost?

Creating an account and accessing a quickpaid credit limit is completely free of charge. We only charge a transparent financing fee for utilized limit amount, shown immediately in the portal upon selecting your repayment period.

If a discount is granted on the invoice, it benefits you by lowering both purchasing and financing costs. You can also use quickpaid to negotiate better terms with suppliers, maximizing your discount potential.​
