Welcome to the Fast Payer Award Winners 2026
More than 550 companies have earned a Fast Payer Award this year, up 10% on last year, and more than double the number just two years ago. Every one of them pays suppliers in under 27 days on average and settles over 95% of invoices on time, sustained across a full rolling year. That takes deliberate effort, month after month, and it deserves to be seen.
The bigger story sits behind the list. Over six years we’ve tracked the payment behaviour of every company that reports, just over 7,000 of them – and 4,600, two thirds of the total, have got faster. Almost 3,000 now pay in around 30 days. This is no longer a handful of good actors; it’s the direction the whole market is moving. To our 2026 winners: congratulations and thank you. To everyone still working at it: there’s a place on this list for you next year.
And this year, recognition doesn’t stop at the award. Every 2026 winner, along with every company that has earned a Fast Payer Award before them, now appears in Good Business Partners, our new directory of businesses worth working with. It’s built for suppliers: browse by name or sector and see who has a published record of paying on time. Listings are free, only accredited fast payers are included, and every company’s record is rechecked each year against the latest reported payment data. Paying your suppliers well should bring you better suppliers, the Good Business Partners directory is where that happens.
