In order to provide faster and more secure payments during the COVID-19 public health emergency, and in the future, we are requesting that all of our vendors move away from printed checks and towards electronic payments. The basis of this request is the desire to both streamline the payment processes and provide secure payment transfers between our financial institutions and those that the City's vendors utilize.
Therefore, as a vendor who receives a printed check, we request that you switch to the electronic ACH process. If you have registered as a vendor through the vendor self-service portal (https://santafenm.munisselfservice.com/Vendors/default.aspx ), you can add your banking information within your account settings. If, however, you did not, you can either create a profile at the link above using your current vendor number or you can fill out the attached vendor form and mail it to 200 Lincoln Ave. Santa Fe, NM 87501, Attn: Nathan Salazar. You may also drop it off at the Purchasing office at Cityhall (same address).
If you have any questions or require assistance please contact Nathan Salazar at 505.490.1453 or at npsalazar@santafenm.gov
