The challenge

You're the Bank Contractors Don't Know They Have

70% of contractors say payment delays are a constant fight, and 82% now wait 30+ days to get paid. Every day you extend terms without receiving cash, you're financing someone else's job site. Two closes the gap: your contractors get the credit they need, and you get paid the moment the order ships.
01

The bid inflation problem

Late-payers push you to price in the risk. Upfront payment on every order lets you quote competitively and protect margin.

Paid upfront. Every order.
02

The credit ceiling

Contractors look risky on paper because they're paid after the job, not before. Legacy bureaus punish that cash flow. Two looks beyond the score to size the real opportunity.

7x higher limits.
03

The collections grind

Manual credit checks and chasing late invoices isn't why you got into materials distribution. Two automates it end-to-end.

Hours back every week.

One integration. Every payment scenario covered.

1

Instant trade accounts

A company registration number becomes an approved credit line in under 2 seconds, with one-click reordering and one consolidated monthly invoice.

2

Guest checkout for new customers

New buyers get an instant credit decision with zero prior relationship, so slow underwriting never costs you a sale.

3

Large order instalments

Contractors spread bulk material and equipment orders over 3-24 months, while you're paid in full, upfront.

4

Risk-as-a-Service (RaaS)

Delphi (credit) and Frida (fraud) run embedded in your stack, cutting fraud losses up to 97% with the same millisecond decision on every channel.

5

You get paid immediately

Two pays your invoice in full the moment the order is confirmed, while contractors get their 30-90 day terms.

Two's model enables important customers to access higher limits than we'd ever risk alone, which directly increases their spend with us.

Frequently asked questions

What is B2B BNPL for building materials?

B2B BNPL (buy now, pay later) lets building materials merchants offer contractors net 30-90 day payment terms at checkout, while the merchant is paid upfront. Two underwrites the credit, so the merchant carries none of the risk.

How fast are credit decisions for contractor accounts?

Two's credit engine, Delphi, returns a decision in under 2 seconds using a company registration number, approving 90%+ of buyers with limits up to 7x higher than traditional credit bureaus offer.

Who carries the credit risk when I offer net terms?

Two does. The merchant is paid upfront on every approved order, and Two owns the receivable, the underwriting, and the collections process.

Can a new contractor get credit with no prior relationship?

Yes. Two's guest checkout gives first-time buyers an instant credit decision, so merchants can win new accounts without waiting on manual underwriting.

What net terms can I offer contractors?

Merchants can offer standard net 30-90 day terms - timed to match when the contractor gets paid by their own client - or split large equipment and bulk material orders into instalments over 3-24 months, with Two paying the full order value upfront either way.
