PSU has partnered with PaymentWorks for our online vendor setup and maintenance platform, PaymentWorks@PSU.  Please see the PaymentWorks section for instructions on how to invite vendors to PaymentWorks.

The only exception to using PaymentWorks@PSU are our PSU students and PSU employees. Students and employees must keep their address and banking information up-to-date in Banweb.

• For international students receiving stipends or awards via Accounts Payable, a W8 must be uploaded to our W8/W9 portal. Be sure to include the Student ID Number in the “Purpose of the upload” field.
• For US students receiving stipends or awards via Accounts Payable, be sure that the student has updated their address and banking information in Banweb, then email vendset@pdx.edu requesting that the student be a vendor. Please provide us with the student ID Number and Full Name.

US Students/Employees? Banweb
