Over the past few years, supply chain disruptions have profoundly impacted businesses and logistics providers. Many challenges in supply chain finance stem from the complexities in accessing, standardizing, and interpreting data. Fintech companies are revolutionizing payments and working capital management by leveraging digital technology, enabling businesses to manage their supply chains with greater efficiency and cost-effectiveness.
Examining the risks (e.g., cybersecurity threats, technological failures, conflicts with traditional intermediaries such as banks and insurers, credit risk) and advantages (e.g., enhanced efficiency and transparency, improved accessibility for SMEs) of supply chain finance solutions from a legal perspective is highly beneficial, so that the risks are properly addressed, and the technology properly utilized.
