In their own words · from the filing

Standard payment terms

Standard Chartered Bank (‘SCB’) seeks to agree appropriate payment terms with each supplier, with the payment period ranging from between 30 to 60 days from receipt of a valid invoice. The most common payment terms agreed with suppliers is 30 days from receipt of a valid invoice. In the absence of agreed payment terms with the supplier, the payment terms of SCB include a payment period of 45 days from receipt of a valid invoice.

Dispute resolution

The standard Contractual Agreement of SCB outlines the Dispute Resolution process. A party claiming that a dispute has arisen in relation to the Contractual Agreement must notify the Authorised Representative of the other party to the dispute giving details of the dispute. If any dispute arising out of the Contractual Agreement remains unresolved for five Working Days from the date on which the notice setting out the nature of the dispute is served by one party on the other, either party may request a meeting within a further five Working Days between senior personnel (as notified by each party to the other for this purpose) who shall have power to resolve the dispute. If the dispute is not resolved under this procedure either party shall be free to pursue alternative action in respec

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).
