Corporate Card Distribution
Cardholders will receive an email from the Corporate Card office once their card is available. Cards may be picked up at one of the designated locations or sent via campus mail upon request. Please do not attempt pickup until you have received the confirmation email.
Check Pickup
You will receive an email from Accounts Payable when a check is ready for pickup. Please wait for this notification before coming to collect your check. Checks can also be sent through campus mail to Evanston campus addresses only upon request.
As a reminder, requests to hold checks for pickup or to include enclosures with checks should be minimized. These requests can delay payment to the recipient. Northwestern offers several fast and secure electronic payment options, including ePayables, Paymode-X, and Concourse/NUQuickPay.
Once a payment is fully approved in NUFinancials, payees set up for check payments are included in the nightly payment file sent to Chase Bank. Chase prints and mails the checks the following business day. The payment remittance information (e.g., invoice number) is included with the check to help vendors and individuals reconcile the payment.
