The problem

Cash is locked inside the debt web.

Turkish SMEs run on open account. One delayed payment freezes the next, and the cost of unlocking cash is brutal.

60–70%
Open account

of B2B trade in Türkiye runs on open account — invoices, not cash, change hands.

10–25%
Cost of cash

of the receivable is lost to factoring and early-payment financing — SMEs pay a fortune to access their own money.

60–120
Days of wait

one delayed payment freezes an entire supply chain: A waits on B, B waits on C.

Every lira is owed by someone who is owed by someone else. The money exists; it is just stuck in loops.

The solution

Netting: debts that cancel each other out.

A owes B. B owes C. C owes A. The loop can be cleared at the smallest edge — no cash, no new credit, no balance sheet.

01

Register

Firms upload e-invoice-based open-account debts; debtors confirm by e-signature.

02

Match

The engine finds closed loops across the network: A owes B, B owes C, C owes A.

03

Net

One multilateral instruction clears the loop. Partial amounts are supported under TBK 192.

How a netting loop clears A owes B 100 thousand lira, B owes C 60 thousand, and C owes A 40 thousand. The smallest edge, 40 thousand, clears the loop with zero cash. A B C ₺100K ₺60K ₺40K LOOP CLEARS ₺40K zero cash

Remaining: A→B ₺60K · B→C ₺20K — fully traceable.

Why netles

Fintech speed. No banking licence.

The model is designed to sit outside cash custody — and to get denser as the network grows.

No cash custody

We never touch funds: no e-money, no payment services, no BDDK licence.

Legal by design

Assignment of receivables and multilateral set-off under TBK Art. 183–192.

Fixed, knowable fees

₺10 per record, ₺50–750 per loop. No commission on debt.

Density first

Start in one trade cluster where everyone already owes everyone else.

98–99%

lower cost than factoring. Clearing ₺100K of debt costs an SME ~₺160 — versus ₺10,000–25,000 in factoring.
