Supplier Onboarding

PaymentWorks Supplier Portal

The University System (×î¿ì¿ª½±Ö±²¥½ÁÖé½á¹û) has adopted the PaymentWorks solution to streamline and manage the supplier onboarding process by reducing manual tasks and the significant time and risks associated with them.

PaymentWorks will go live in February 2023 and all new payees/suppliers who conduct business with the University System will onboard through PaymentWorks prior to conducting business.

For existing suppliers, there is no interruption to doing business, however you will need to register. Existing suppliers will be requested to register in PaymentWorks either:

  1. As part of our onboarding schedule to onboard all existing suppliers onto PaymentWorks.
  2. Whenever any information needs to be updated in a supplier profile.

Suppliers will receive a PaymentWorks registration request via email under both of these circumstances.
