In their own words · from the filing

Standard payment terms

Crown Agents Bank processes supplier payments according to their individually agreed payment terms, rather than based on month-end due dates. While the standard payment period is typically 30 days, different agreements may apply depending on the supplier. Invoices that are approved for payment will be included in the next available payment run, even if they are not yet due, ensuring a timely and efficient payment process. If Crown Agents Bank Limited identifies any discrepancies in an invoice, the Supplier will be notified, and payment will only be processed upon submission of a corrected invoice. Crown Agents Bank Limited initiates payment instructions strictly in accordance with agreed payment terms, without considering fund transmission times. As a result, suppliers will receive fu

Dispute resolution

Suppliers with invoice-related queries can reach out to the Accounts Payable (AP) team either by emailing [email protected] or by contacting a member of the AP team directly. The AP team will thoroughly investigate the query and provide a resolution to the Supplier. Additionally, if the team identifies an issue with an invoice, they will proactively contact the Supplier to address and resolve the matter.

How UK payment reporting works

What is a Payment Practices Report?
UK companies and LLPs above a size threshold — broadly, two of: turnover over £54m, balance sheet over £27m, or more than 250 employees — must report twice a year, under the Reporting on Payment Practices and Performance Regulations 2017, how quickly they actually pay suppliers: the average time to pay, the share of invoices paid in 30 days or fewer, 31 to 60 days and 61 days or longer, and their standard payment terms. Those thresholds apply to financial years beginning on or after 6 April 2025; for earlier financial years they were £36m and £18m, with the same 250-employee test.
What does "paid outside agreed terms" mean?
The share of invoices paid later than the terms in the supplier contract. If terms are 30 days and an invoice is paid on day 45, it counts as paid outside terms, regardless of the headline average.
How often is this data updated?
Each report covers a six-month period and must be filed within 30 days of that period ending, so a company's record refreshes roughly twice a year. PaidLate re-reads the register as new reports are filed.
Is this official government data?
The underlying payment figures come from the company's own statutory filings on the gov.uk payment-practices service; company-status data comes from Companies House. PaidLate calculates trends, comparisons and summaries from those records. It does not use surveys or credit-agency scores.

How this is compiled. Built from official records only: Companies House and the gov.uk payment-practices service. The payment figures are self-reported — companies over the size threshold must file them by law and the board signs them off. No credit-agency data. The numbers are theirs; the plain-English read is ours. This is information compiled from public records under the Open Government Licence v3.0 — not a credit rating and not advice.

The 31-day comparison figure is the median across 6,185 companies with a current statutory report — every sector pooled, not an average of sector medians (how the figure is built).
