The Finance Department is pleased to share an update on the successful implementation of PaymentWorks, the University’s new supplier management portal. Since its launch, the platform has significantly improved how we onboard and manage supplier information, making the process more secure, efficient, and transparent.

To date, 2,707 suppliers have been fully onboarded through PaymentWorks, with onboarding efforts continuing for additional active University suppliers who have not yet transitioned to the platform. The move to PaymentWorks supports the University’s broader goals of modernizing financial systems and enhancing the supplier experience.

We’re also seeing strong adoption of electronic payments among our suppliers. 86% of onboarded suppliers have enrolled in ACH payments, helping to streamline transactions and reduce processing delays.

As we continue to expand PaymentWorks usage, please note an important change:
Effective July 1, 2025, the Supplier Payee Information Form (SPIF) and IRS W-9 form will be retired and removed from the Forms page on the Finance website. Going forward, all tax documentation and required supplier setup forms will be collected directly through PaymentWorks.

This transition ensures better compliance, data security, and faster processing times for both University departments and our valued suppliers.
