Vendor Direct Deposit

The State of Oregon offers direct deposit payments for vendors and State of Oregon employees. This service is optional; the default payment method is paper check. Direct deposit uses the Automated Clearing House (ACH) network, a secure nationwide banking system that transfers funds between U.S. bank accounts. This eliminates paper checks- reducing delays, fraud risks, and processing costs.

Why Choose Direct Deposit?

Faster payment
Increased security with no lost, stolen or forged checks
Better cash-flow planning for vendors
Immediate redemption
18 months of remittance details

Who Can Enroll?

Vendors and State of Oregon employees must have an active vendor/employee profile in the Statewide Financial Management Application (R*STARS) before enrolling in direct deposit. We are unable to add banking information into a profile that does not exist.

Once your profile is established, if appicable, R*STARS will send you a W-9 Request for Taxpayer Identification and Certification Form.

Log in to Workday to view the instructional course on how to complete the Direct Deposit Authorization Form. This course will guide you through the two different electronic submission options available for state employees.

Due to NACHA rules, if your payments are forwarded from a U.S. financial institution to a bank in another country, notify the Foreign Vendor Accountant. The State cannot set up direct deposit for foreign vendors.

Please note: the State of Oregon uses multiple subsystems to issue direct deposit payments. If you are unsure whether your payments are issued through R*STARS, please contact the State of Oregon agency that pays you before enrolling.
