# What is the PayCargo Credit?

### <mark style="color:$primary;">Overview</mark>

[**PayCargo Credit**](https://paycargo.com/paycargo-finance/) allows approved payers to access a flexible credit line that can be used to pay vendors directly through the PayCargo platform. Designed to support businesses navigating today’s tight financial environment, PayCargo Credit helps maintain uninterrupted operations by improving cash flow, accelerating payments, and enabling continued growth—even when receivables are delayed.

By providing access to funds overnight, PayCargo Credit ensures vendors are paid on time while giving payers the liquidity they need to move cargo without disruption.

### <mark style="color:$primary;">How it works</mark>

PayCargo Credit is available to PayCargo Payers that:

* Have been in business for **two years or more**
* Maintain an established **transaction history** on the PayCargo platform
* Receive approval following a credit review

Once approved, PayCargo Credit appears as a **payment method** during checkout. When a payment is approved:

* PayCargo funds the transaction overnight
* The vendor receives payment per PayCargo’s standard settlement timeline
* Repayment is managed through **automatic recapture**, simplifying cash management for the payer
