The future of cross border Invoice Financing between Asia and the World
Stenn©2016
“What the Stenn team have been able to do is to fill the void that commercial banks have been unable to service in recent years due to ever increasing bank regulation”
Our Story
6 continents: We finance buyers around the world
2 offices: Singapore, London
$12bln financed: STENN teams track record since 2006
Stenn was founded by an experienced team of executives with a proven track record of building multi billion dollar accounts receivable portfolios in emerging markets …
… To offer a solution around a simple but very powerful idea: give international trade buyers and sellers an easy way to achieve open account terms and at the same time give sellers in cash starved Asian markets immediate access to working capital.
Stenn offers both buyer and seller a win win solution:
We give the buyer the ability to sell it before they pay for it, without using L/Cs an their valuable bank credit lines, with improved shareholder value as a result.
We give the cash starved Asian supplier access to credit allowing them to properly finance their production and their growth by offering more attractive buyer payment terms.
