How Asset Finance commission payment schedules work

Asset Finance commission payment timing varies by lender and, in some cases, by product type.

In most cases, commission is paid:

  • At settlement, or

  • Monthly in arrears after settlement

Connective remits commission to the Full Member once funds have been received and cleared from the lender.

When to raise a CAF invoice

For lenders that pay commission at settlement, Connective strongly recommends raising a CAF invoice on or before settlement, even if the lender does not explicitly require one.

Raising a CAF invoice:

  • Confirms your deal has settled

  • Notifies Connective that commission is expected

  • Helps ensure commission can be released without delay once funds clear

For step-by-step instructions, see How to Generate a CAF Invoice.

Before raising a commission query

Before submitting a commission enquiry, we recommend that you:

  • Check the lender’s payment schedule

  • Confirm whether the lender pays at settlement or in arrears

  • Ensure a CAF invoice has been raised (where applicable)

This helps reduce delays and avoid unnecessary follow-ups.
