Any other information about payment terms

We are currently only able to record the date of receipt of invoices for circa 80% of reportable invoices within this report. Where the date we receive an invoice is not available, we have reported the date of the invoice itself, as we consider this the most justifiable alternative.

Dispute resolution process

With respect to contracts with suppliers, the general position is that the appointed supplier managers for each party first attempt to resolve the dispute (point of contact varies from contract to contract). Additionally, suppliers can contact the dedicated Accounts Payable team (mbnapaymentoperations@mbna.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.
