Effective November 2023, Seattle University has partnered with Paymerang to provide streamlined payment processing to its vendors. Payments will be primarily issued via Paymerang as the preferred route of issuing, confirming, and reconciling vendor payments. The implementation of this change is expected to improve the vendor experience for our suppliers and improve efficiency for all stakeholders by providing:
This transition has no effect on established purchasing policies and is expected to improve our vendor’s experience in doing business with the university. The Accounts Payable Team of the Controller’s Office is the university’s primary and dedicated point of contact for faculty and staff needing assistance in all matters related to processing vendor invoices. All inquiries should be escalated by contacting the APTeam@seattleu.edu. We look forward to assisting you!

ProcureSU invoice records will continue to be updated in real time, but with a new payment method referenced as “Paymerang” appearing as the Payment Method under the Payment Information section of ProcureSU. University faculty and staff can continue to reference this field for confirmation that payment has been made on submitted invoices. Please note, that since Paymerang issues payments via check, credit card, or ACH based on the preference of the vendor, the payment reference number seen within ProcureSU is NOT the number on the physical check that the vendor will receive. For further details on a specific invoice and its method of payment, contact APTeam@Seattleu.edu
Email APTeam@seattleu.edu with the ProcureSU invoice information and or Paymerang payment reference information contained in ProcureSU requesting this. If a vendor has elected to be paid by check, our accounts payable team can provide copies of check images for checks that have been cashed by a vendor. If a vendor has elected to be paid by electronic funds, a payment confirmation report will be provided instead of a cashed check image. Further confirmation or details of electronic payments will need to be escalated by the payee by contacting Paymerang.
Upon submitting an invoice for payment either through ProcureSU or by submission to payables@seattleu.edu, please send an email to APTeam@seattleu.edu containing the invoice information and stating a request to physically pick up the check at the Controller’s office. The check will be available for pickup on the following day of the processing of the weekly payment run and an e-mail notification sent to the requestor notifying that it is ready. Please note that only SeattleU faculty, staff, and students are permitted to pick up checks at the Controller’s office.
Enrollment in electronic payment processing must be handled directly and between a vendor and Paymerang. SU Accounts Payable is not able to complete this enrollment a vendor’s behalf. A vendor may contact Paymerang’s support line at 877-680-7332 or by emailing Support@Paymerang.com for more information.
