What Is the FCI (Factors Chain International)?
The FCI is the global industry association for factoring and receivables finance, with members in 90+ countries. When you use export factoring, your UK provider works with a correspondent factor in the debtor's country through the FCI network. The correspondent handles local credit checking, collections, and if necessary, legal action in the local jurisdiction.
