ANWR-Garant Swiss AG promotes central regulation

In times of store closures and market consolidation, collateral is also rare in the Swiss retail sector. The central regulation of a network organization can make the difference here. ANWR-Garant Swiss AG is now advertising this in Swiss retail. “Central regulation is increasingly establishing itself as an indispensable standard in retail,” says Roland Felder, CEO of ANWR-Garant Swiss. “The reason for this is simple: This proven model protects both sides in retail – retailers and suppliers – from financial uncertainty. With central regulation, the entire payment processing between merchants and suppliers is secured by unique transaction IDs, careful transaction confirmations and regular reconciliation of payment data. The risk of double payments is completely eliminated.”

ANWR-Garant Swiss AG works with its own DZB Bank for this purpose. According to Felder, the bank is one of the largest financial service providers in trading in Europe with a volume of over 21 billion euros. This means that specialist retailers can be offered a range of advantages to simplify business processes. Liquidity planning is also an important point here. “By guaranteeing payment to suppliers, retailers can be sure that their liabilities will be processed on time and correctly, thereby significantly minimizing financial risk,” continues Felder. Suppliers can also be guaranteed payment regardless of the retailers’ financial situation. “This not only improves cash flow,” says Felder, “but also reduces the risk of liquidity shortages and financial losses. This security for suppliers is enormously important for successful retail today in order to constantly have new goods in the range.” The flexibility and versatility of the model is therefore ideally an “indispensable tool” – regardless of which industry uses it.
