Information For Suppliers

PaymentWorks Supplier Registration

PaymentWorks is Rutgers University's secure supplier onboarding and information management platform. Suppliers must register and maintain an active PaymentWorks profile to become an approved Rutgers supplier and receive payments from the University.

All suppliers are required to complete the Rutgers University-specific registration process, even if they already maintain a PaymentWorks account or have registered with PaymentWorks for another organization. Because onboarding requirements vary by institution, registration with Rutgers is necessary to conduct business with the University.

PaymentWorks provides a secure, centralized system for collecting, validating, and managing supplier information. The platform supports Rutgers' compliance with applicable regulatory requirements while helping to protect against payment fraud through supplier verification and secure onboarding procedures.

Through PaymentWorks, suppliers can:

• Securely submit and maintain required business information
• Track the status of their registration and onboarding process
• Update company, contact, and payment-related information as needed
• Manage their supplier profile through a centralized, secure platform

By maintaining accurate and current information in PaymentWorks, suppliers help ensure efficient onboarding, payment processing, and ongoing business operations with Rutgers University.

Becoming a Rutgers Supplier

There is no formal pathway to become a supplier to Rutgers. Businesses interested in working with the University are encouraged to connect directly with the departments that may have a need for their goods or services. Supplier relationships are typically established at the department level across the University’s campuses.

To become an established University supplier, a business must be invited by a Rutgers department to complete the supplier registration process. The University uses PaymentWorks to securely collect and validate supplier information as part of the onboarding process. Suppliers cannot independently register with Rutgers through PaymentWorks, and unsolicited registration requests cannot be accepted. A University department contact will work directly with the business to obtain an appropriate email address for the PaymentWorks invitation.

Prospective suppliers are encouraged to review the University’s Terms and Conditions and Procurement Policy to familiarize themselves with the requirements for doing business with Rutgers.
