Electronic Payments (ACH) to Vendors

 

The Controller’s Office is now able to make Electronic Payments (ACH) with remittance information, currently printed on our checks, to our vendors, contractors and suppliers.

 

This service is voluntary and is provided at no charge to all vendors through our existing disbursement account with Bank of America.  Remittance information will be provided through PayMode^®, a Bank of America business-to-business electronic system.

 

• Saves time and money – Electronic Payments can reduce labor, hassle, expenses, and risk associated with checks and there is no charge to receive payments in this format from the City and County of San Francisco.
• Fits with existing systems and banking practices – PayMode requires no software purchase, no modification to your accounts receivable system, and no change to your bank or bank accounts.
• Includes remittance information from our check stub – PayMode provides the remittance information printed on our check stub with the electronic payment for easier reconciliation.  You will also be notified by email each time you receive a payment.
• Provides payment history – A detailed history of all Paymode payments from the City and County of San Francisco will be available to you on the PayMode website.
• Easy enrollment – It will take you less than 10 minutes to enroll.  You will be notified by email when you are ready to receive Electronic Payments from us.  This normally takes 2-3 weeks from the time you enroll.
