How do I setup Direct Deposit for expense reimbursements?

Please note, payroll and accounts payable operate on two different platforms and as a result direct deposit accounts have to be setup on both systems. Your payroll direct deposit will not apply to expense reimbursements. Please follow the steps below to setup direct deposit for expense reimbursement.

Go here: Website to setup direct deposit

Enter your name and click Submit.

 Select your name, click Edit.

On the drop down menu, select Direct Deposit ACH modification. Then, in the box below, simply enter a description of the request (ex. “adding direct deposit account”).

You may be prompted to sign in with your UNI at this point. On the following page, you will be able to edit and add new information to your “vendor profile”. Complete all the required fields marked with a red asterisk including the “Disbursement Info” box to add your direct deposit information. Click Review & Continue and you’re all set!
