Here's how payment practices in the Financial Services sector stacked up in 2020 versus 2025:
While the data indicates a positive shift in payment behaviors, the increase of 2.5 points over five years signals only marginal progress. The larger sample size in 2025 strengthens the validity of the comparison, but also suggests that significant changes to payment practices are slow to materialize within the financial services industry.

In summary, the financial services sector experienced a small average payment performance improvement from 82.0/100 in 2020 to 84.6/100 in 2025.
