Cambridge & Counties Bank Wins 2025 Fast Payer Award – Supporting SMEs Beyond Lending

2 December 2025
 

Cambridge & Counties Bank has been recognised as one of the UK’s most responsible businesses when it comes to paying suppliers promptly, after being awarded the 2025 Fast Payer Award by Good Business Pays. 

The award is given exclusively to companies that consistently pay their suppliers in an average of 27 days or less and settle 95% or more of invoices on time. This year, only around 10% of large UK companies achieved this standard, making Cambridge & Counties Bank part of a select group leading the way in supporting small businesses. 

Prompt payment is vital for the health and resilience of small businesses across the UK. By paying suppliers quickly and reliably, Cambridge & Counties Bank helps ensure that its partners can maintain strong cash flow and continue to grow.
