Any other information about payment terms

Invoice Receipt Date
We are currently only able to record the date of receipt of invoices for circa 11% of reportable invoices in this report. Where the date we receive an invoice is not available, we have reported on the date of the invoice itself, as we consider this the most justifiable alternative.

Unknown payment terms
For certain suppliers, our systems do not currently capture details of the payment terms in place under qualifying contracts with those suppliers. Therefore, for the purposes of reporting on our payment statistics for those qualifying contracts, we have assumed that all payments under those contracts are due within 30 days of the date of receipt of the invoice, which reflects our most commonly used contractual payment terms.

Discrepancy between contracting entity and paying entity
Our payment statistics include some payments made by Agricultural Mortgage Corporation Plc where, although we are not the contracting entity for the relevant qualifying contract, the services have been received and paid for by Agricultural Mortgage Corporation Plc.

Dispute resolution process

Suppliers can raise queries with their appointed managers in the first instance. They can also contact the dedicated accounts payable team (LloydsInvoiceEnquiries@Lloydsbanking.com). Such contacts would generally seek to deal with any disputes promptly (involving other senior contacts, as needed), in accordance with the terms of the contract.
