# How Fee Disbursements Work on the Remuneration Portal

> Understand how the NBA Remuneration Portal disburses your professional fees, what the payments page displays, and how to read your disbursement statistics.

The **Payments** page tracks all disbursements the platform has made on your behalf. After a deal is approved and all fees are collected, the portal automatically splits and disburses the funds to each relevant beneficiary — including you as the handling lawyer. This page gives you a full audit trail of every disbursement, so you can reconcile your earnings and confirm that each payment has reached the right recipient.

## Fee structure and disbursement calculation

The NBA mandates a 10% professional fee on the assessed property value. The platform then deducts an administrative processing fee before disbursing your net amount. Administrative fees are tiered by deal value:

| Property value              | Administrative fee rate |
| --------------------------- | ----------------------- |
| Up to ₦100,000,000          | 1% of NBA fee           |
| ₦100,000,001 – ₦700,000,000 | 0.75% of NBA fee        |
| Above ₦700,000,000          | 0.5% of NBA fee         |

For example, on a ₦50,000,000 property: the NBA professional fee is ₦5,000,000, the administrative fee is ₦50,000 (1%), and you receive ₦4,950,000.

## Beneficiary types

Each disbursement row shows who received the payment. You will see three types of beneficiaries:

* **Assigned Counsel** — the lawyer handling the deal; this is your net professional fee after the administrative deduction
* **Branch Allocation** — a portion allocated to your NBA Lagos branch as required by remuneration rules
* **Platform Fee** — the administrative processing fee retained by the portal to cover transaction costs

## Payment statuses

| Status     | Meaning                                                                                    |
| ---------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| Successful | The disbursement was completed and funds have been sent to the beneficiary's account.      |
| Pending    | The disbursement is queued or awaiting deal approval to trigger.                           |
| Failed     | The disbursement could not be completed. This may require you to verify your bank details. |

## Dashboard statistics

The summary cards at the top of the Payments page give you an at-a-glance view of your disbursement activity:

* **Total disbursed** — the cumulative amount disbursed to you across all time
* **This month** — disbursements made to your account in the current calendar month
* **Pending** — disbursements that are queued and have not yet settled; these may require deal approval or bank detail verification before they can proceed

## Exporting payment records

You can export your payment history for reconciliation or reporting purposes. Use the export option on the **Payments** page to download a record of your disbursements.

<Info>
  Disbursements are processed same-day to T+1 (the next business day) after a deal reaches `APPROVED` status. If a disbursement remains in **Pending** for more than two business days after deal approval, verify that your bank account details are correctly set up in your profile.
