PaymentWorks
Waltham, Massachusetts, United States
What it is
PaymentWorks helps organizations onboard vendors and maintain vendor records in an ERP. Its guided onboarding produces a standardized Payee Profile and authenticates vendor identity before data enters the ERP. The platform checks tax identification numbers against IRS records, validates addresses against USPS, screens sanctions lists, and logs checks and updates for audit trails. It verifies bank account ownership at registration and repeats authentication when banking details change. Vendors can select ACH, virtual card, or EarlyPay during registration, while customers retain their existing payment processing and rails. PaymentWorks names Banner, PeopleSoft, Munis, Workday, SAP, and Oracle among its ERP integration examples. Transfers can use UI uploads, scheduled SFTP, or an API for batch and individual-record operations. Documented workflows include registrations, supplier updates, invoice uploads, and payment instruction files. Standard vendor registration and information management are free; optional EarlyPay fees vary with the selected payment timing. The payer platform is paid, with pricing on request. PaymentWorks identifies higher education, state and local government, healthcare, and enterprise organizations as customer groups.
