Manage Textura Payment Accelerator Programmes for Main Contractors

The Textura Payment Accelerator Programme (TPA) is a solution provided on the Oracle Textura Payment Management (TPM) system. A TPA enables Main Contractors to provide early payments to Subcontractors. The Main Contractor collaborates with a Funder and the TPM Implementation Team to configure the programme.

The Main Contractor still disburses the payment, but the payment is funded by a third party.
On the maturity date, the payment amount is automatically deducted from the Main Contractor's account.
