UC Davis has established a set of preferred payment methods and terms for suppliers. Review the information and complete the form at the bottom of this page.
Preferred Payment Methods
Our goal is to maximize the convenience and efficiency of supplier payments, while reducing the risk of fraud and lost payments. Through our strategic partnerships with US Bank and Bottomline Technologies, we are happy to provide options for suppliers to enroll in either credit card or ACH payment methods. While we still provide the option for paper checks, it is discouraged.
Please select one of the following payment methods and terms and provide your contact information at the bottom of this page. Upon submission, you will receive an automated email to track enrollment. In most cases, our partners at US Bank or Bottomline Technologies will then reach out on our behalf to process your enrollment. By default, any supplier who has not opted into one of these terms will be set up with paper check with NET 60 terms.

What is Payment Plus?
Payment Plus is a virtual credit card program. The supplier receives emailed remittance information upon approval of their invoice, which includes instructions to retrieve a one-time Visa credit card number. The card can then be used by the supplier to receive immediate funds to clear the amount due.
What is Paymode-X?
Paymode-X is an ACH, automated clearing house, which conducts an electronic funds bank transfer to the supplier’s account. Remittance information is emailed to the supplier when payment is made, including the invoice # and check-stub notes. Funds are typically available within 24-48 hours after the transfer is complete.
Paymode-X offers both Basic and Premium options. Paymode-X Premium comes with added benefits, but there are fees associated with this option. We encourage suppliers to discuss these options with Bottomline.
