Free Credit Checks & Monitoring
We factor invoices for companies who meet basic and reasonable credit standards, like paying bills on time. If a company has a solid track record of making payments within normal business terms, we can approve them for factoring.
Cashway will provide you with on-demand credit information regarding the funding status of your customers and prospective customers for free. We will research the payment history of the customer using both our own proprietary data as well as a number of third-party databases, all at no charge to you.
You can search for and access credit status information for thousands of popular freight brokers, distribution businesses, trucking companies, direct shippers, 3PL businesses and more. Search by geographic radius, MC Number, State, or by company name.
We will report the broker or shipper credit status to you as "Approved" or "Denied" for factoring. If a customer's status is listed as "Denied", Cashway will not factor the invoices for any loads that you haul for them until their factoring status changes to "Approved".
We encourage factoring clients to check the funding status of companies before hauling loads for them. Credit and factoring status can change at any time for any reason but you will have unlimited 24/7 access to check real-time credit information whenever you login to our online account manager. You can also reach our friendly account managers by phone, text, or email to check credit status for free. Let us do the research for you!
We continuously track and monitor your customers' payment performance so you never have to worry. If there is a significant change in a customer's factoring credit status, we flag the customer for you and make immediate adjustments to protect your interests.

Not all factoring companies are the same.
Due to financial and legal requirements, you will need to close your account with your current factoring company before you begin factoring with Cashway Funding.
In certain situations, Cashway will work with your current factoring company to transfer your accounts from their service to ours. This process is commonly known as a “buyout” or "payoff" of your factoring account.
Not all factoring companies are willing to co-operate with account buyouts. If you are currently stuck in a factoring contract and wish to change factoring companies, call us for a free consultation with one of our factoring buyout specialists.
