Wire and ACH Processing

To better serve the campus and our supplier’s needs, we offer wire and ACH payments for paying certain types of vouchers. For immediate payment needs, suppliers that will only accept wire transfers, or for some recurring payments, we will allow wire and ACH payments through our banking partner.

In order to expedite and streamline the processing of wire and ACH transfers, we have established the following guidelines:

  • Accounts Payable will process any completed wire/ACH requests with proper documentation received by 10 a.m. the same day
  • Any requests received after 10 am will be processed the next banking day
  • Please complete the Wire / ACH form in its entirety
  • Ensure that the form has the appropriate approval authority
  • Complete business purpose
  • Attach supporting documentation
  • Ensure any additional approvals that may be needed because of the funding source is obtained prior to sending to Accounts Payable
