Financial Services Payment Performance Dips Slightly: 2024's 85.2 Average Falls to 84.6 in 2025

The Comparison

• 2024: A survey of 527 financial services companies yielded an average payment performance score of 85.2 out of 100.
• 2025: This year, with a sample size of 474 companies, the average score decreased marginally to 84.6 out of 100.

What This Means

While the decline of 0.6 points in average payment performance score might appear insignificant at first glance, it represents a subtle shift across the financial services sector when considering a sample of almost 500 companies. Such a drop, even a small one, should prompt companies to use a late payment calculator to assess the true impact on their own cash flow and financial planning. This slight dip might point to emerging challenges in the industry that affect the ability to pay on time.

Summary: Payment performance in financial services showed a small decline, from 85.2 (out of 100) in 2024 to 84.6 (out of 100) in 2025.
