Get paid faster and more securely with UPS Capital

When every penny counts, your business can’t afford to wait around for payments. Or even worse, worry about whether or not a customer will even pay their invoice. That’s why UPS Capital offers services that keep your cash flowing, while reducing your risk against default payments and even fraud.

Get C.O.D. funds faster

C.O.D. Payment Options from UPS Capital help you receive C.O.D. funds faster and minimize the risk of uncollected payments. With a typical C.O.D. service, payment is collected upon delivery of a package, processed by the carrier and then sent to you. “It might take 10 days before you receive that check, and then you have to process it and get it to your bank,” says Kranti Sharma, a senior marketing manager at UPS Capital. “By then, a couple of weeks might have gone by before you get your money.”

But with C.O.D. Automatic^®, funds are transferred to your bank account within two to three business days of package delivery. There’s no long wait for payment, and because there are no checks to cash, you save on processing fees and trips to the bank. For a slightly lower fee, use C.O.D. Direct^® to receive funds within approximately six days of package delivery.

C.O.D. Secure^® provides the same cash-flow benefits as C.O.D. Automatic, with even more security. UPS Capital guarantees payment up to a certain limit. So, if a check bounces, you’ll still get your payment.

And when you add C.O.D. Delayed Deposit to C.O.D Automatic or C.O.D. Direct you can honor a customer’s request to defer check deposits.
