Partners
Who we work with, and what each relationship actually is.
Most partner pages in this industry are a wall of logos with a headline claiming a connection to all of them. It is the cheapest page on any vendor website and the least informative, because it collapses several different kinds of relationship into one visual claim and leaves a buyer unable to tell which is which.
This page separates them. Technology connections carry the status they hold in the product, taken from the same register that engineering maintains. Industry and ecosystem relationships are described rather than implied. And if you want to work with us, the last section is a real route rather than a mailbox nobody reads.
Reading any partner page
Including oursTwo questions that separate a relationship from a capability, on anybody’s website.
Q1
Is this a company you work with, or a system you connect to?
A logo answers neither. The words around it usually answer both, if there are any.
Q2
If it connects, what moves, in which direction, and is it live today?
Built, proven, released and planned are four different states and a logo shows all four identically.
Q3
Who is missing, and would they say the same about you?
The absences on a partner page carry as much information as the entries.

The distinction
A partnership and a working integration are two different claims.
A commercial relationship is a fact about two companies. We have agreed to work together, one of us introduces the other, there is an arrangement and usually a document. That is ours to assert and it does not require a single line of code to be true.
A working integration is a fact about software. It is built, it has been proven against a deployed service, and it either moves the information it claims to move or it does not. That is not ours to assert. It is engineering’s to evidence, which is why every row on the integrations page carries one of five words and why nothing enters that register without a source in the platform repository or a dated proof run.
Both are real, and conflating them is how buyers get hurt. Plenty of good partnerships exist long before any code does. Presenting one as the other is not a small exaggeration, because a factoring operation plans a conversion timetable around what it was told would connect.
So there is no logo wall on this page, and there is no headline claiming we are connected to everything shown. Where a connection exists, the word for it is on the row.
Why we are strict about it
The site this replaced advertised connectors that did not exist. Not from dishonesty, but because a logo strip has no field for the truth.
A buyer discovers that in week five of an implementation, and at that point they have not just lost a connector. They have lost their reason to believe anything else they were told.
Technology
What the platform connects to, with the status it holds today.
Taken directly from the integration register rather than retyped, so this page cannot say something different from the one engineering maintains. Five words are permitted and each one means a specific thing.
| Status | What it means | Who |
|---|---|---|
| Available | Works in the product today. Some require you to hold your own credentials with that vendor, which is stated on the row. | Microsoft Bookings, Microsoft Entra ID, QuickBooks Online, Xero, Probity network, TaxRock, Ficoso, NACHA ACH, APCA direct entry, Fedwire, EDI 820 and 214, FMCSA, Tessera Network, Email, portal and SFTP intake, Language model extraction, PPSR, AML and sanctions screening |
| Controlled release | Built and proven against a deployed service, running with named customers, not yet generally released. | Microsoft Teams, Microsoft Outlook and Graph mail, Microsoft Calendar |
| Contract required | The rail is built. It answers not configured until you hold a contract and keys with that vendor. | Creditsafe, Dun and Bradstreet |
| Planned | Named and designed. Not built. Never described as working. | Plaid |
| Ecosystem | A sibling product in the network rather than a connector. | FactorEvo |
Each row is described in full, including what moves and in which direction, on the integrations page. If a vendor you depend on is not listed anywhere, that absence is deliberate. We do not list a company we cannot evidence a connection to, even where a commercial conversation is under way.
Industry
Where we show up in this industry, and in what capacity.
International Factoring Association
Preferred Vendor and Preferred Ally Member
FactorFox holds both designations with the IFA, and exhibits and sponsors at association events. The listing is public and you can check it rather than take the badge on faith, which is the same standard this site applies to everything else.

No certification body, and no security badge
A SOC 2 programme is under way with completion targeted for the end of 2026, and until a report exists there is no certification claim and no logo anywhere on this site. It belongs on a partners page because a badge from an audit firm is the one most often mistaken for a partnership.

Three ways to work with us
Each one is a real arrangement with terms written down. None of them is a tier table, because the terms depend on the market and the support model and a tier table would be a guess dressed as a policy.
Referral and introduction
For consultants, advisers, accountants and lawyers who already hold the trust of operators in this industry. We are not looking for volume. One introduction from somebody a principal already listens to is worth more than a list, and the arrangement is documented rather than assumed.
Implementation and consulting
For firms who run conversions, training or ongoing operational work. Conversions are where most of the risk in this category sits, and a partner who has done one properly is worth more to a customer than any amount of vendor enthusiasm. We will train you on the platform and on the reconciliation posture.
Technology and integration
For software serving this industry. It starts with what would actually move between the two systems and in which direction. If there is something worth building it gets built, proven against a deployed service, and then listed with the status it has earned rather than the status either of us would prefer.
Become a partner
Tell us what you had in mind.
This reaches a person rather than a sequence. You will hear back from somebody who can discuss commercial terms, not somebody whose job is to book a call to arrange a call.
It helps to know who you already work with and what you think the two of us would do together. If the answer is that you are not sure yet and want to explore it, say that. It is a more useful starting point than a proposal written to impress.
If you would rather write directly, sales@factorfox.com reaches the same person.
Straight answers
What partners ask before they commit
Why does a partner logo not mean the integration is live?
Because they are two different claims and only one of them is ours to make. A commercial relationship is a fact about two companies agreeing to work together. A working integration is a fact about software, and it is either built and proven or it is not. Plenty of good partnerships exist before any code does. We keep the two separate so that a logo on this page never quietly becomes a capability claim, and so that the status column on the integrations page stays worth reading.
What do you look for in a referral partner?
Someone who already has the trust of operators in this industry and would rather send them somewhere good than somewhere that pays most. Consultants who run conversions, people who advise factoring companies on operations or credit, accountants and lawyers who serve this sector. What we are not looking for is volume. A single introduction from somebody a principal already trusts is worth more than a list, and the arrangement is written down rather than assumed.
Do you have a reseller or white label programme?
Talk to us rather than reading a page about it. Arrangements of that kind depend on the market, the support model and who carries the customer relationship, and none of that survives being reduced to a tier table. If you have a specific proposition in mind, the form below reaches somebody who can discuss commercial terms rather than route you into a sequence.
We build software for this industry. How does a technology partnership work?
It starts with what would actually move between the two systems and in which direction, because that determines whether there is anything worth building. If there is, it gets built, proven against a deployed service and then listed with a status that says exactly where it stands. It appears on the integrations page as planned while it is planned and as available when it is available, and never the other way around. That discipline is the reason a buyer can trust the rest of that page.
Will you list us on your site?
Yes, once the relationship is real and we agree the words. We would rather describe a partnership precisely than impressively, and that cuts both ways: we will not overstate what you do for us and we will not ask you to overstate what we do for you. If a relationship ends, the listing comes down rather than quietly staying up.
