Payment Processing

The University of Alabama’s preferred method of payment is direct deposit. All payments should be made via direct deposit when submitting expense reports and payment requests. Direct deposit (ACH) payments are processed daily. In the event a check must be issued, checks are only printed once a week, on Wednesday. Payments (check and direct deposit) for Foundations are processed once a week. For all types of payments, allow at least seven to ten business days for processing by Accounts Payable. All payments should be processed timely.
