Each JPMorgan Chase group company’s (JPMC) standard payment terms are “2% 10; net 60”, unless different terms are negotiated under contract or mandated by law in a particular country, meaning JPMC pays undisputed amounts within 60 days from receipt of an accurate invoice and may take a two percent discount off any amounts due under an accurate invoices as long as it pays within 10 business days from receipt. JPMC’s standard form contract typically used for higher risk engagements has standard payment terms of 2% 10; net 60 (as above). JPMC’s standard form contracts typically used for lower/minimal risk engagements have standard payment terms of 45 days after receipt of a correct invoice. JPMC’s standard purchase order terms and conditions typically used for minimal risk engagements have standard payment terms of 2% 10; net 60. Historically, JPMC reported its standard payment terms according to the payment terms set in our back end payment systems. These are set to '2% 10; net 30 days' for the vast majority of UK transactions, meaning JPMC pays undisputed amounts within 30 days from receipt of an accurate invoice and may take a two percent discount off any amounts due under an accurate invoices as long as it pays within 10 business days from receipt. Our standard contractual payment terms between JPMC and its vendors is, and has always been, net '2% 10; net 60' days. We have updated our response to this question to better reflect what our legal obligations are to our vendors, as we believe that is the more useful information for reporting purposes. Historically, Law Firms have been on pay immediate terms, but this has been problematic as it has effectively meant that JPMC is in breach of its payment obligations on receipt of legal invoices. As part of a holistic review and restructure of our master engagement terms with Law Firms, we have updated and aligned our payment obligations to our standard payment terms for other, non-legal vendors.
Please refer to our answer to the question: 'Describe your standard payment terms'.
Payment terms were negotiated as part of a wider review of our standard contractual terms with Law Firms. As a standard, the new terms applied across the board for pre-existing Law Firms and those onboarded afterwards.
60 days
Historically, the entry for “Enter your shortest (or only) standard payment period in days” was given as zero because one of JPMC’s standard form contracts stated that JPMC will use its best endeavours to process, review, audit and pay invoices as soon as possible. This form is updated in line with our Net 60 standard. The shortest payment terms as set in our back end payment systems are pay immediately upon invoice approval.

A qualifying contract may set out a dispute resolution process. The sophistication of this process depends on the risk rating and therefore complexity of the contract, with contracts used for higher risk engagements containing a multi-tiered (or escalation) dispute resolution clause. Practically, and even in the absence of an escalation/dispute resolution clause in a qualifying contract, an internal escalation process is followed which is materially consistent, as regards JPMC, with a multi-tiered contractual clause.
For example, signatories to The Prompt Payment Code must commit to paying 95% of their invoices within 60 days.
