General FAQs
Why is UTEP using PaymentWorks?
PaymentWorks is a Business Identity Management platform that UTEP will be using to verify supplier identity and ensure compliance. Joining PaymentWorks as a UTEP supplier is a requirement to receive payment for any delivered goods or services.
PaymentWorks mitigates the risk associated with manually collecting your information by eliminating the collection of documents through fax, email, snail mail, or in person, and providing a secure repository for all this information. Once you submit your information in the portal through the registration form, and it is approved by UTEP, you will receive an e-mail notification that your registration has been approved. At that point, you will be eligible to receive payment.
How do suppliers register for PaymentWorks?
You must reach out to the department you are working with and they will send you a PaymentWorks invitation.
