Better payment practice (UK)
Here's some quick tips that will help us process your invoice as quickly as possible.

We won't be able to accept invoices with missing information so it's important to include all the relevant details to avoid any delays. We aim to process all correctly presented invoices within 5 days.
- Non-contracted suppliers are generally paid in 60 days, or if they’re an SME in 30 days after we receive a valid invoice.
- Contracted suppliers should speak to their BT procurement contact for specific terms.
On reaching the maturity date, we'll release the money from our account either weekly, fortnightly or monthly on a Monday, depending on your BT terms.
Our payment policy, remains as defined in 'The BT Way'. We're committed to ensuring that all of our dealings with suppliers are conducted in accordance with the principles of fair and ethical trading.
