Frankfurt-based efcom has been providing factoring software since December 2000 and has a wide client base in over 11 countries.

The deal will see Equiniti Riskfactor leverage the partnership to launch its flagship risk management and analytics software into the growing German factoring market, as part of its continued international strategy.

We look forward to working with efcom over the coming months and years and meeting new customers along the way.”
