NEW SUPPLIER SETUP PROCEDURES
Supplier & Payee Registration Policy
Wesleyan University is pleased to announce the launch of PaymentWorks as our new supplier registration system. PaymentWorks is a third-party platform that enables secure, streamlined transmission and maintenance of supplier and payee information.
Suppliers who register on PaymentWorks maintain a single account across multiple PaymentWorks clients. Many universities and institutions across the country use PaymentWorks, allowing suppliers to manage their information across all of their clients from a single dashboard.
Training materials are listed below.
