Standard payment terms
Marex Financial ('MF') deals on third party suppliers’ terms rather than its own and therefore does not have standard payment terms, nor does it require that particular sets of payment terms are included in third party supplier contracts depending on the supplier’s size. MF does however generally engage with third party suppliers on the following terms: (a) a payment period of 30 days of receipt of the relevant invoice; (b) payment of interest at the rate specified by the supplier in the relevant supplier agreement; and (c) submission to settlement discussions/the English courts (as provided for under the relevant supplier agreement) to determine any dispute if such cannot be resolved amicably between MF's Accounts Payables and Legal departments and the relevant supplier.
Were there any changes to the standard payment terms in the reporting period?

Were suppliers notified or consulted about these changes before they were made?

Dispute resolution process
MF deals on third party suppliers’ terms rather than its own. Invoices must be made out to the correct company name and address and sent via email to the Accounts Payables department; any invoice queries are then directed to the relevant person within the business. Disputes are resolved per the process set out in the relevant supplier agreement involving MF’s Accounts Payables and Legal departments and the relevant supplier. Any dispute would be governed by the governing law/jurisdiction clause in the relevant supplier agreement which is generally English law/English courts.
