Frequently asked questions
Everything people ask before funding their first invoice. If your question is not here, the team answers the phone.
What is invoice financing and how does it work?
The money is coming, it is just not in your account yet. FundTap brings forward an unpaid invoice you choose, for one flat fee from 4% per invoice, quoted upfront before you commit. You pick the invoice and the timing, up to 90% of its value lands once approved, funded same day, and your customer keeps paying you directly, so nothing at their end changes.

About FundTap
What is FundTap?
FundTap turns your unpaid invoices into money in your account, the same day. You have done the work and the invoice is out. FundTap brings that money forward for one flat fee, and you choose which invoice and when.
Is FundTap a loan?
No. It is your own invoice, brought forward early. You choose which one, and when, for one flat fee, shown before you confirm. Nothing else you are owed is signed over and there is no ongoing arrangement sitting behind it.
Is FundTap available in Australia?
Yes. FundTap funds businesses in both New Zealand and Australia, and it works the same way either side of the Tasman.
Getting funded
How quickly do I get funded?
Registering takes about ten minutes. Our approvals team then reviews your application, usually the same day, a little longer for more complex businesses. Once approved, every invoice you fund after that lands the same day.
How much of the invoice do I get upfront?
Up to 90% of the invoice value. It can be less if you choose to fund only part of an invoice, or if 90% would take you past your funding limit. The rest, less the fee, is released when your customer pays.
Can I fund just one invoice?
Yes. FundTap lets you choose one invoice, several, or none at all. No minimum, no lock-in, no ongoing commitment.
Your customers
Do my customers find out?
No. Your customer pays your invoice to you, into your own account, on the terms you already agreed. There is nothing at their end to sign or change, no payment is redirected to FundTap, and you stay in charge of the relationship.
What if my customer pays late?
You can move the repayment date yourself in the portal by five working days, or let our friendly team know. The fee is recalculated for the actual number of days the funding runs, so it moves in both directions: earlier payment brings it down.
Costs and fees
How much does it cost?
One flat fee, from 4% per invoice, shown in full before you confirm. No setup fees, no monthly charges, and nothing owing while you are not using it. You are always the one deciding when that fee applies.
Are there any fees to sign up?
No. Setting up costs nothing, and an account that is set up and unused costs nothing to hold. Set it up once and it is there when you need it.
Eligibility
What businesses can use FundTap?
If you are actively trading in New Zealand or Australia and invoice your customers on terms, usually yes. Four things: actively trading, invoicing on terms, the invoice is for work already done and unpaid, and your accounts are in order. As a general guide we look for around six months trading and roughly $60k in turnover.
Does FundTap do a credit check?
Yes, as part of approval. It is not the whole picture though. Our approvals team looks at your business and at the invoice itself, not just a credit score, so you can still qualify even if a bank has said no.
What does “no lock-in” mean?
Use it once, or every month. No minimum, no lock-in, no ongoing commitment, and it costs nothing while it is not in use.
