7-PaymentWorks Onboarding Letter.pdf

This is a vendor onboarding notice from Marion County, Florida, outlining the registration requirements for vendors conducting business with the county. The document notifies vendors that Marion County utilizes PaymentWorks, a secure vendor portal system, for vendor onboarding and payment management. Vendors may receive invitation emails from PaymentWorks on behalf of Marion County, which are legitimate requests. During the registration process, vendors can select their preferred payment method, either ACH direct deposit or check payments. Existing vendors who have previously conducted business with Marion County are not required to register initially; however, any updates to company information including address, email, and banking details must be completed through the PaymentWorks system.

Registration through PaymentWorks is strongly encouraged to ensure timely payment processing, as delays in registration or information updates may result in payment delays. The platform allows vendors to securely provide and manage business and banking information while reducing errors and duplicate records, with the ability to update information at any time. Vendors requiring assistance with PaymentWorks registration can contact PaymentWorks Support through their help portal or reach out to Marion County Procurement at Procurement@MarionFL.org. The notice emphasizes that PaymentWorks is Marion County's official vendor onboarding system and serves as the primary mechanism for managing vendor payments moving forward.
