7-PaymentWorks Onboarding Letter.pdf

This is a vendor onboarding notice from Marion County, Florida, outlining the registration requirements for contractors and suppliers conducting business with the county. Marion County requires all vendors to register through PaymentWorks, a secure vendor portal system, to facilitate vendor onboarding and payment management. The registration process allows vendors to securely provide and manage business and banking information while reducing administrative errors and duplicate records. Vendors can update their information at any time through the portal. During registration, vendors may select their preferred payment method, choosing between ACH direct deposit, which is faster and more secure, or traditional check payments. Existing vendors who have previously conducted business with Marion County are not required to register to continue operations; however, any updates to company information, including address, email, banking details, or other administrative data, must be completed through PaymentWorks to prevent payment delays.

The PaymentWorks registration system represents Marion County's official vendor onboarding platform, and the county strongly encourages all contractors to complete registration to ensure timely receipt of payments. Vendors may receive invitation emails from PaymentWorks on behalf of Marion County, which are legitimate requests from the county. For technical support regarding the PaymentWorks platform, vendors can visit the PaymentWorks help portal at https://help.paymentworks.com/contactsupport.
