If you previously applied for credit and were not approved, but you believe there’s been a material change in your company’s finances since previous application, we’re open to re-evaluating.

FAQ
How does utilizing my extended payment terms work?
when you pay your bills directly through Settle, you'll see an option to pay via financing. Please see more information within our Settle Working Capital collection of articles for instructions on utilizing, tracking and reporting for your credit profile.
Will I ever have changes to the maximum available, the extension terms, the structure (amortized or bullet), or the rate once I have a credit profile?
Yes, there are opportunities for new terms, rates, and limits throughout your time with Settle. The credit profile terms are based on a number of factors including security position, market conditions, a customer's business metrics, and more.
We regularly provide access to additional capital beyond customer limits at the initial time of underwriting. This is also why we encourage you to contact your customer success representative in order to review opportunities for changes to your credit profile.
Are there any additional fees such as annual account fees that are beyond my credit profile rates?
No, there is no annual fee to utilize your credit profile. Please see our pricing page for information about the bill pay rates, exchange rates and subscription tiers for our full suite of bill pay services.
