PayCargo Capital partners with Evolve to fund freight forwarders, cargo owners

PayCargo Capital has signed a deal with Evolve Bank & Trust (Evolve) to allow freight forwarders (FFs) and beneficial cargo owners (BCOs) get credit access at the point of paying freight costs. PayCargo Capital is the exclusive lending partner to users of PayCargo, LLC’s payment platform for vital remittance information between payers and transportation-related vendors. PayCargo has over 67,000 active users remitting and receiving payments.
The partnership will immediately fund the PayCargo Line of Credit, which eliminates financial delays contributing to the on-going supply chain crisis, Paycargo said in a statement. Qualified FFs, importers and BCOs in North America who use the PayCargo platform can extend vendor payments by 30 days using credit, the statement added. “PayCargo Capital offers credit terms on freight charges, previously available to only a few large companies,” says Philip J Philliou,CEO, PayCargo Capital. “Clients tell us that our timely credit solution prevents expensive demurrage charges and speeds goods on their way to their final destination. Both air and ocean freight expenses are higher than in prior years and the need for funding is significant. In today’s environment, with Evolve as our lending partner, PayCargo Capital will grow stronger as a technology-enabled financing provider and help more businesses with their cash flow needs.”
