The Event Payment system allows RFCUNY to accept credit/debit card payments on behalf of CUNY for donations or the purchase of goods and services (i.e., books, workshops, conferences, etc.).
Automated Clearing House (ACH) is an electronic payment method that serves as an alternative to issuing payments by check and wire. ACH payments and their associated remittance information are transmitted to the recipient banking institution, then directly deposited into the payee’s bank account. The ACH File Management System allows CUNY schools to apply the ACH they have received to the appropriate payment request.
A vendor name or organization is required to have a tax ID assigned by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). Accurately matching a vendor name or organization to its assigned IRS tax ID is critical as data transmitted to the IRS must be accurately matched to avoid penalties.
