Industry ranking
Score of 84.9/100 qualifies for PaymentCheck Certification
INVESTEC WEALTH & INVESTMENT LIMITED demonstrates a strong positive trend in payment speed, with an average payment time of 26 days. The company consistently settles 83% of its invoices within 30 days, indicating reliable adherence to common payment terms.
Despite the generally prompt payments, 17% of invoices are paid late, with 12% falling into the 31-60 day range and 5% exceeding 60 days, introducing a predictable element of volatility. This indicates a minor but consistent risk of extended payment periods for a portion of transactions, impacting cash flow predictability for a supplier.
Overall, INVESTEC WEALTH & INVESTMENT LIMITED represents a low-to-moderate payment risk for suppliers, primarily due to its high percentage of on-time payments. Suppliers should factor in the 17% late payment rate, particularly the 5% over 60 days, when managing working capital or setting credit limits. Implementing a monitoring system for invoices approaching the 30-day mark would be a suitable risk mitigation strategy.
