Vendor Payment Management
Payment Methods
The State Accounting Office (SAO) is committed to continuously improving how the State conducts business with our vendors. In accordance with the Governor’s Executive Order, “regarding the prompt and efficient payment for goods and services provided to the State,” electronic disbursements are to be used for payments to contractors/vendors when practical. Through Electronic Payments, we offer a payment option to the State's wide range of "payees" - one that employs electronic transfer of funds to vendor bank accounts via the Automated Clearing House (ACH).
To establish electronic payments, banking information is required from vendors. In addition, vendors currently enrolled in the electronic payment process will be required to validate existing banking information. To simplify the process, please use:
- Supplier Change Management Form
- Supplier Change Management Form instructions
- W9 Form (2024 Version)
- How to enter a 1099 for new Suppliers .
Also provided is the vendor conversion template letter . The vendor conversion template letter explains how vendors can enroll in electronic payments and how vendors can validate any existing banking account information currently on file with the State.
