Dear Vendor:
Currently, your organization is receiving payments from the City of Richmond by check or
electronic payment (ACH). The City of Richmond's Procurement Department would like to
invite you to begin, if you have not already, receive all funds electronically by the ACH method
of payment.
We would like to extend to your company the option of receiving recurring payments by
Automated Clearing House (ACH). ACH offers many benefits to the supplier and to the City
of Richmond. You will receive funds in a timely manner as payments made by ACH are
deposited directly into the Company’s bank account, detailed invoice information, and an email
notification that the funds have been transferred to your account. Similar to using checks, ACH
payments are immediately available on the date the payment is paid to you.
As the City of Richmond's preferred payment method is ACH, we are requesting that you
include correct banking information, a point of contact, and a valid email address for
your organization. All changes can be made by logging into the Supplier Portal or by
completing the attached documentation which includes form W-9, the ACH direct deposit
form, and the EDI Payment Agreement. Forms should be emailed to
supplierregistration@richmondgov.com or faxed to 804-646-5989.
Should you have any questions about this procedure, please feel free to contact the
Procurement Office, at (804) 646-5716.
Sincerely,
The Department of Procurement Services
