Is my business an approved supplier for PSD once the PaymentWorks registration process is complete?
PaymentWorks is a portal that allows the District to vet suppliers for payment processing requirements only, and completion of the process does not guarantee the supplier has been approved to provide goods or services. Suppliers may also be required to submit additional insurance information, provide quotes, and/or have an approved contract on file before providing goods and/or services to the District.
