The article notes that all of the companies that facilitate borrowing against receivables sometimes experience push back when pitching the program.  However, as was the case with Synovus Bank in Tampa, after working with the FTRANS, banks and clients find the value in it.  The article notes that after 1 1/2 years,  Synovus Bank in Tampa is now aggressively pitching the FTRANS program, in an attempt to branch out from real-estate lending.
