Electronic Payment to Individuals

The NUQuickPay program is a way for Northwestern to pay people electronically via Zelle or ACH. This is available to individuals (e.g., visitors, research subjects, independent contractors) who are set up as suppliers within NUFinancials and paid through the normal Payment Request or Purchase Order processes.

We are currently in the process of doing some final live testing and hope that it will be ready for use by April 2023.  We will update all staff immediately once it is ready to be turned on.


NUQuickPay

Below are the eligibility requirements for NUQuickPay:

With this program, after a payment is processed in NUFinancials, the individual will receive a text message and/or email notification (per the contact info provided on their profile in NUFinancials) from JPMorgan Chase bank.

Once registered, all future payments will be routed automatically the same way. If an electronic payment has not been accepted within 14 days, it will expire and consequently be reissued as a paper check to be mailed to the individual’s address on file.

Please note that only people are eligible for NUQuickPay. Companies should sign up through one of the existing electronic payment programs, Paymode-X (ACH) or ePayables (dedicated credit card).
