About Nectarine Credit

Simply put, we hate fax machines, so do our customers, but most of the world of credit applications is stuck printing, signing, and sending paper applications. We want to change that.

That’s, why we built a system that coordinates and automates the whole credit application process using a combination of new best, practices in business, from digital signatures to banking integrations.

The company itself is only a year only and is currently fully remote (PT timezone), but we have customers, are moving fast, and we want to move faster.

What is a Credit Application?

Essentially it’s when one company asks if they would be willing to ship a certain dollar value of product on goodwill.

For example, a brewery has a can supplier and the brewery asks the can supplier if they’d be willing to ship $10,000 of cans today and give them 30 days to pay.

This is a common request, however, the current process of approving someone’s credit involves a lot of paper applications and a lot of old fashion phone calls.

All the things we want to automate.
