Invoice discounting
for A New Era
rebuilding invoice discounting block by block
for invoice buyers & sellers.
Populous is a P2P (peer-to-peer) invoice discounting platform that is globalising what is currently a localised and limited market sector. It is a global invoice trading platform built on Blockchain's distributed ledger technology.
Invoice discounting is a form of funding that instantly unlocks the cash tied up in outstanding sales invoices. Business owners allow invoice buyers to buy invoices at a discounted rate in order to unlock their cash quicker. Once invoices are paid by the invoice debtor, the invoice buyer receives the amount previously agreed upon.
Populous uniquely connects business owners with invoice buyers on a global scale by leveraging the security, transparency, and speed of Blockchain via XBRL data, Altman Z-score formula, smart contracts and stable fiat-pegged tokens. We will disrupt the traditional invoice discounting system by eliminating the need for third parties or financial institutions by connecting businesses with global invoice buyers directly.
Built on DLT.
Immediate funding without third-parties. Smart contracts autonomously perform funding - collect and release payments.
Populous enables invoice sellers and buyers to transact regardless of geographic location and without the need for any third party.
All invoices uploaded are transparently recorded onto the Ethereum Blockchain eliminating potential for error and misuse.

We use XBRL data to access and assess financial statements for invoice sellers. Extraction of 1500+ data points per company affords the opportunity to analyse the risk of a company, trading partners, and industry as a whole.
Our smart contracts combine XBRL data, Altman Z-scores and other formulas to create our proprietary credit rating system which is far more advanced than the current industry standard.
