Slope 101 for Customers

Pained by import shipping delays or slow payment from large customers / insurers / governments? Interested in saving procurement costs and strengthening supply chain relationships? See how Slope could help in each of these here!

Slope provides a one-stop platform to seamlessly finance and pay bills as well as manage your loans. We have two main products: Pay Later (i.e., finance your bills), and Pay Now (i.e., pay them instantly).

• Scope: We help finance (on an unsecured basis) revenue-generating invoices, such as inventory purchases and marketing spend

• Flexible Terms: Net terms up to 90 days, plus monthly installments up to 120 days**

  • Early repayment? We will prorate your fees! You get charged only for actual days borrowed.

• Competitive Rates: This program offers risk-based pricing, with financing fees as low as 0.99% on Net 30 and 2.99% on Net 90 (equivalent to below 12% APR) for our best customers

  • No Hidden Charges: Our cost of borrowing is straightforward - no extra fees for applying or maintaining your financing limit; only “What You See Is What You Get” 

• Dynamic Line Size: Financing limits typically range from ~15% to approximately a third of your monthly revenue after debt service, depending on your credit profile

  • Once you’re approved, we reassess your business for line increases from time to time, as you accumulate payment history and expand

• How It Works: 

  • Each time you initiate a new Pay Later order, you choose a loan term and confirm the pricing. The entire process could be completed in seconds

  • Upon a quick check, we will pay your vendor on your behalf within one business day 

  • You pay us back loan principal and financing fees either at the end of your net terms, or in monthly installments, based on the term option you chose

• Multiple Payment Methods: You can repay with either ACH, debit card, or credit card 

  • You get points/cashback and an extra 30-60 days’ float by repaying with a credit card, which can be well worth the 2.95% credit card processing fees we charge

  • Psssst - we accept most major cards, including AmEx!
    

• You can also use our simple platform to immediately pay your vendors both domestic and abroad with either credit card or ACH, without a loan. 

• Step 1 - Connect: If you’re interested, the Slope representative you’re in touch with will connect you with the Slope Customer Success (CS) team about an online application.

• Step 2 - Apply online: Slope CS will guide you through how; the process takes about 5 minutes if you have the needed information.

• Step 3 - Initial Approval: Upon completion, you could be approved for up to $150K without requiring further action on your end, or we might be in touch with any clarifying question(s) / information needed.

• Step 4 - Higher Limit Approval (Where Applicable): After initial approval for up to $150K, if we see room for an even higher limit, we’ll reach out for additional information that would allow us to assess.

We look forward to helping your business grow!
