3 5 Years ABOUT FCI FCI was set up in 1968 as an umbrella organization for independent factoring companies around the world. Today it has grown into the world s representative factoring network and association with close to 400 members in 90 countries. When FCI started, domestic factoring was only available in North America and in a few European countries. The concept of cross-border factoring was still new and restricted by its lack of geographic reach. Recognising the potential for international factoring, the founding FCI members realised that an umbrella organisation was needed, firstly to introduce factoring in countries where it was not yet available, and secondly to develop a framework for international factoring, which would allow factoring companies in the country of the exporter and the importer to work closely together. In 2016 the activities of IFG (International Factors Group) were integrated into FCI. Today, FCI is truly the global representative body for the Factoring & Receivables Finance Industry. FCI s Vision is to be the Global Association for the Open Account Receivables Finance Industry. FCI Mission Statement: Receivables Finance is the core focus of the association and includes Factoring, Invoice Discounting and other Supply Chain Finance solutions. FCI has two main activities and value propositions: 1. FCI facilitates and promotes International Factoring through a Correspondent Factoring platform. 2.
