Experiences of businesses using Trade Account

Easy online registration

“I was amazed at how easy it all was. I signed up at around 9:00pm and was approved for a $75,000 limit within minutes. I submitted my first four invoices the very next day.”

– Colin (WA)

Extending terms

“I like to take advantage of supplier terms but sometimes I want a little longer to pay. For example, Asahi offers me terms but I often use my Trade Account to add an extra week or two.”

– Rudra (NSW)

Flexible repayments

“My suppliers often insist on Friday payment but Monday payment works better for me because it means I can use weekend takings. My Trade Account gives me that flexibility.”
