ESG_sign

The National Bank of Bahrain (NBB) has introduced a fully digital supply chain finance (SCF) solution, aimed at enhancing liquidity and optimising working capital for businesses. This new platform facilitates stronger commercial ties by allowing buyers and their suppliers to interact seamlessly, ultimately simplifying trade processes.

Built on the DigiCorp platform, the solution automates traditionally manual payment operations. This automation allows suppliers to receive early payments against approved invoices, while buyers benefit from improved cash flow cycles. The streamlined system reduces administrative burdens, ensuring quicker turnaround times and greater operational efficiency.

The launch reflects NBB’s broader strategy to provide digital-first services that empower businesses and elevate their operational capabilities. It also marks a significant advancement in the bank’s transaction banking offerings, reinforcing its position as a leader in trade finance and cash management services in the region.

One of the key advantages of this solution lies in its support for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). By giving them timely access to working capital—without the need for additional borrowing or tapping into existing credit lines—NBB is helping these businesses maintain financial stability and meet their ongoing obligations. The solution’s competitive rates and transparent financing structure further enhance its appeal.

From the buyer’s perspective, the tool enables more efficient balance sheet management and strengthens strategic supplier relationships through improved payment cycles. By introducing an automated and transparent mechanism for payments, companies can refine internal processes and bolster long-term partnerships with their suppliers.

In line with NBB’s Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) commitments, this initiative also contributes to strengthening the SME ecosystem. It promotes inclusivity in access to affordable financing, thereby fostering more sustainable and cooperative supply chains. With this launch, NBB continues to expand its innovative suite of financial products, driving business growth, resilience, and efficiency both in Bahrain and across the region.
