SUISA’s settlement dates for 2015 contain some new features: Apart from the usual dates, two additional distributions are scheduled for the 2nd semester. One of SUISA's highest priorities is to shorten the time between payouts to its members.

Thanks to the optimisation of the distribution processes, the collected copyright remuneration is expected to be distributed faster to SUISA members. The additional dates in mid-September and mid-December are, after the improved display, the latest result of the enhancements in the field of distributions. The intended objective is to distribute all monies on four distribution dates per year.
