Effective March 16, 2020, direct deposit is now required for all NEW suppliers. This change has been implemented to ensure business continuity for payments to our vendors especially during the COVID-19 pandemic. By using direct deposit, our employees can practice social distancing during the current pandemic and further prepares the University for emergency situations that arise in the future.
This new process will also benefit the University by providing cost savings through the elimination of check stock and ink, reducing time spent on printing, voiding, and re-issuing checks. Direct deposit is also a more sustainable practice, eliminating the mass amount of paper products that are being used and provides more security to our vendors.
The finance department will be reaching out to current vendors that are set up as check payment to convert them to secure direct deposit for all future payments.
