PaymentWorks
PaymentWorks is a third-party online platform that is used for supplier enrollment and subsequent supplier record updates. Suppliers will receive an invitation from UChicago to create an account, and will be able to enter all of their information safely and securely. Please note, that the term Suppliers is both for entities and individuals doing business with the University.
You will be asked to complete a PaymentWorks application unless you are currently enrolled as a student or employed by the University.
Through PaymentWorks, you will now have a streamlined process for:
- Managing profile and contact information
- Securely entering and updating taxpayer identification numbers (social security numbers for individuals) and bank account information
- Selecting a preferred payment method
- Updating important documents for tax, insurance, and various certificates
The partnership with PaymentWorks will provide enhancements to the procure-to-pay process and will improve security surrounding payments.
