Payment Terms

Standard payment terms

Standard Chartered Bank (‘SCB’) seeks to agree appropriate payment terms with each supplier, with the payment period ranging from between 30 to 60 days from receipt of a valid invoice. The most common payment terms agreed with suppliers is 30 days from receipt of a valid invoice. In the absence of agreed payment terms with the supplier, the payment terms of SCB include a payment period of 45 days from receipt of a valid invoice.

Any other information about payment terms

Invoices shall describe the services and any other products supplied in sufficient detail so that tax (including, but not limited to, import or custom duties, service tax or withholding tax) is charged correctly. Invoices are required to quote the Bank’s 10 digit Purchase Order (PO) reference number generated from the bank’s procurement system for purchasing goods and services where applicable. Suppliers are requested to submit electronic format invoices by email to APUeInvoice.UK@sc.com.

Dispute Resolution Process

The standard Contractual Agreement of SCB outlines the Dispute Resolution process. A party claiming that a dispute has arisen in relation to the Contractual Agreement must notify the Authorised Representative of the other party to the dispute giving details of the dispute. If any dispute arising out of the Contractual Agreement remains unresolved for five Working Days from the date on which the notice setting out the nature of the dispute is served by one party on the other, either party may request a meeting within a further five Working Days between senior personnel (as notified by each party to the other for this purpose) who shall have power to resolve the dispute. If the dispute is not resolved under this procedure either party shall be free to pursue alternative action in respect of that dispute.
