Important notes

When referencing average payment times, consider the following:

• Travel and Ticketing advertisers have longer payment times because they usually validate transactions after the trip or event and are only then invoiced.
• Utilities and Telco companies have longer payment times because they conduct credit checks and gather several months of direct debit information before they release funds.
• Content sites can take longer to reach the payment thresholds.
