Wire and ACH Transfer Process
To better serve you and meet our customers’ needs, we offer wire and ACH transfers (i.e. electronic transfers) as a viable method for paying certain vouchers. The purpose and use of wire and ACH transfers, as well as an overview of the instructions when requesting this method of payment, may clarify when an electronic payment method is necessary. Please contact Sharon Anderson at x4311 or Allison Belton at x5183 with questions. Highlights of the more significant changes to the procedure, effective November 26, 2007 include:

  • 10 AM cut off to get the completed requests to the Controller's Office each day,
  • Controller does not have to sign the request form when the payment is less than $25,000,
  • more signers are available when the payment request is $25,000 or more (i.e., Craig Thomas and Michele Phillips have been added as additional signers),
  • Accounts Payable Office is now initiating the transfers with the bank, and
  • a new form goes into effect that is more user friendly
