US-based MUFG Union Bank has announced the acquisition of supply chain finance platform Trade Payable Services from GE Capital.

MUFG Union Bank will reportedly assume management control of the systems and processes supporting the supply chain finance activities that GE Capital performs for GE.

Terms of the transaction were not disclosed.

Through its Accelerated Payment Program Overview the TPS platform provides suppliers with faster invoice payments from their customer. Invoices can be paid upon approval in exchange for a discount, which is deducted from the gross amount of the invoice. Other features include flexible payment options and potential to receive 2 day ACH payments.
