“Receivables Exchange of India Ltd. (RXIL), M1xchange and Invoicemartare three TReDS platforms which help MSMEs gain access to working capital through invoice discounting via multiple financiers,” said a press note.
According to Mohammad Mustafa, Chairman and Managing Director of SIDBI, “The present endeavor under Swavalamban Resource Facility, where SIDBI partners with Department for International Development (DFID) UK, is yet another differentiated intervention by the bank.
