Cash flow
If you’re buying goods for trade you typically have to pay for them within 30 days. With UnLock you can push this deadline back to 60 days for purchases made with your UnLock Mastercard, or up to 90 days for purchases made by invoice.
If you don’t have the cash to hand to pay your debts when they fall due, what do you do? You either have to get a loan, postpone payment or worst-case, default on the debt. If you consistently default on debts or make late payments this affects your credit score and eventually no-one will sell you goods on credit.
While you’re waiting to get your own invoices paid, UnLock can be the difference between having the money to pay your bills or defaulting on your debts.
