Normally, companies collect account receivables in cash and remove it from the books simultaneously. However, in recent years as credit sales and receivables have grown considerably, some companies have started to sell their receivables to other companies in order to accelerate receipt of cash from receivables. The most practiced method to sell receivables is the sale to a factor, also called as factoring. Factoring arrangements vary extensively. However, factors (the buyer of the receivables) charge a fee or commission for their services. In today’s world, many businesses have reduced their investments in receivables by encouraging customers to pay via credit cards such as Visa or Master. The credit card companies pay these businesses and later bill the customers. The working of debit cards is slightly different than the working of credit cards. Using a debit card is similar to paying with cash, except that the customers will not have to carry cash with them. When debit card is swapped by retailer at the point of sale terminal (POS) or cash counter, the bank balance of the customer is automatically reduced and the amount is transferred to retailer’s account.
