Standard payment terms

The Bank’s standard supplier payment terms are to pay supplier invoices within 30 days of having received the invoice (or from application for payment) whichever is the later, assuming the goods or services have been delivered in accordance with the purchase order. However, we work with our suppliers to reach payment terms that work for both them and the Bank. Cambridge & Counties makes one payment run per week.

Dispute resolution process

Where the Bank raises a dispute in respect of an invoice, the Bank’s policy is to notify the supplier of the nature of the dispute in writing within 30 days of receipt of the invoice. Invoices are held for payment until any dispute is resolved. Disputes are handled and resolved via Departmental Heads and/or Accounts Payable (Accounts@ccbank.co.uk), who have direct engagement with Suppliers, whose contact details are readily available to all suppliers. Once a disputed invoice has been resolved, payment is made within 30 days of dispute resolution
