Credit and Finance for MSMEs: Y Combinator-backed small and medium enterprise (SME) focused trade finance company Drip Capital has crossed the $1-billion milestone in cross-border trade receivables financing transactions through its platform. Founded in 2015, Drip provides post-shipment finance on the value of the exporter’s invoice at the time of bill of lading is issued. Bill of lading is a document detailing the type, quantity, and destination of the goods being carried. The exporter is required to pay a one-time processing fee, a factoring fee charged for each invoice, and interest ranging between 4.5 per cent and 9 per cent per year.
