Any retailers who transact on the Roinet platform for a minimum of three months and consistently grow their transaction volume become eligible for credit advances.
This is first-in-the-industry “Effectively interest-free credit”, subject to the retailer generating certain incremental transaction volume by utilizing the loan amount.
This offer is exclusively for Roinet channel partners.
