Uncommitted facility

An uncommitted facility is credit the lender <em>may</em> provide but never has to — cheaper than a committed line, but not something to build a plan around.

Definition

An uncommitted facility is one the lender can offer, reduce or cancel at its discretion, typically "on demand". Many day-to-day overdrafts are technically uncommitted.

In plain terms

It is available until it is not. Convenient and low-fee, but the rug can be pulled exactly when you most need the money.

Why it matters for your company

Never anchor a critical cash flow plan to an uncommitted line. For dependable headroom, use a committed facility such as Credicorp’s business credit facility.
