# What is the PayCargo Finance?

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

[**PayCargo Finance** ](https://paycargo.com/paycargo-finance/)allows approved payers to access a flexible credit line to pay vendors directly through the PayCargo platform. Designed to support businesses navigating today’s tight financial environment, PayCargo Finance 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 Finance 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 Finance 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 Finance 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

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://support.paycargo.com/payments-and-finance/paycargo-finance/what-is-the-paycargo-finance.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
