From Many To Few — Only 17 Earned a Spot on OAREX’s H1 2025 Top Payors List

Posted on 12 Sep at 11:15 am

The U.S. economy remains under pressure. Core inflation is holding at 3.1% and the Federal Reserve continues to take a cautious stance (Kiplinger). At the same time, Labor markets are weakening. Only 22,000 jobs were added in August and unemployment rose to 4.3%, the highest since 2021 (WSJ).

Meanwhile, payment performance in digital media and ad tech worsened during H1 2025. The OAREX H1 2025 Digital Media & Advertising Payments Report revealed 58% of payments were late. Of those, 32% arrived more than 5 days late and 18% were more than 15 days late—both record highs. While the number of payors who always paid on time fell to just 6 in total.

Amid this concerning backdrop, we are proud to recognize 17 programmatic partners as OAREX Top Payors for H1 2025, honoring their consistency and reliability in a volatile market.
