The story in short
- 138 invoices funded since January 2026
- 29 invoices funded in their busiest month, July 2026
- 2 increases to their funding limit
The gap
Shipping lines release a container only once they’ve been paid, which is when the vessel arrives. A heavy month of container imports means a lot of those bills at once.
Agents in Australia pay at the end of the month, after NZ supplier bills fall due on the 20th.
How they use FundTap
They pick the invoices to fund when a big shipping bill lands. Since January 2026 that’s 138 invoices on 36 funding days, with July 2026 the busiest at 29.
When they can, they repay early to free up room for the next shipping bill. Their clients and agents are never contacted and pay as normal.
What’s changed
Nine months in, their funding limit has been raised twice. Shipping lines get paid when the vessel lands, clients still pay on the 20th, and FundTap covers the gap on the invoices they choose.
Sound like your business?
The vessel’s in and the shipping line wants paying now, but your clients settle later. Fund the invoices behind that shipment and leave the rest.
You did the work. Don’t wait until the 30th to get paid.
