Welcome to The University of Alabama Vendor Registration site. PaymentWorks is the University’s supplier management system for vendor onboarding and updates, and a UA employee must invite vendors to create an account in the PaymentWorks system.
Information for Vendors
We appreciate your interest in doing business with The University of Alabama! Vendors must be registered before an order can be placed or payment issued. All new vendors will utilize PaymentWorks to be assigned a vendor number, and all updates to vendor information should be submitted to the University through PaymentWorks. Please be assured that the information provided will be protected, and your registration will be assigned an ID number. For your protection and privacy, your information will not be viewable to the campus nor the public. For information on Vendor Bid Registration, please visit the Vendor Resources page.
PaymentWorks Vendor Verification
If a direct deposit payment is rejected, a member of the PaymentWorks fraud operations team will reach out to the vendor on behalf of The University of Alabama to validate the banking information that was provided at the time of registration. PaymentWorks will contact the vendor via email and/or telephone to validate this information verbally. This will help ensure that future payments will be approved and processed promptly. If a vendor reaches out to your department, please let them know this is a legitimate call/email.
Information for Employees
UA employees can access PaymentWorks through myBama or by using the link below (which requires myBama login information). Once logged in to PaymentWorks, employees can initiate an invitation to a vendor to register. Employees will also have access to a dashboard showing the onboarding status for all vendors that the employee has invited. All new vendors will utilize PaymentWorks to be assigned a vendor number.
UA employees seeking reimbursement do not register via PaymentWorks.
Note: UA employees must log in to PaymentWorks and initiate invitations to vendors. Vendors cannot use the link above to register with UA as they must receive an invitation from a UA employee.
