Reported terms and dispute process

Standard payment terms
Our standard payment period is 30 days from receipt of invoice for all contracts, unless a shorter period is specifically agreed.
Our standard contract conditions can be found in the following location: https://www.fscs.org.uk/supplying-the-fscs/
Dispute resolution process
Complaints from suppliers are raised with the FSCS employee who ordered the goods/services, or with the Finance team. Colleagues will seek to understand the issue as soon as practical in order to ascertain if the complaint arises from within the business (e.g. preventing the invoice being approved) or from within Finance (e.g. preventing an approved invoice being paid) and the relevant colleague will then respond directly to the supplier.
