Vendor Direct Deposit Form

AI Summary

The City of Jackson, Mississippi requires vendors providing goods or services to the city to enroll in Direct Deposit (ACH) for payment, which is the city's preferred payment method as of October 10, 2024. Vendors must complete and submit the Direct Deposit Authorization Form through the Vendor Self Service portal at selfservice.jacksonms.gov/vss or in-person at the Department of Finance Administration – Accounts Payable Section, Warren Hood Building, 6th Floor, 200 S. President St.; email submission is not accepted due to data security risks. Once City Council approves payment, the City's Accounts Payable Supervisor enters payment instructions into the accounting system, which transmits them through the Federal Reserve Bank's Automatic Clearing House (ACH) to the vendor's financial institution for credit on the settlement day. For questions, vendors may contact the Accounts Payable office at accountspayable@jacksonms.gov or 601-960-2040 during business hours (8 a.m.–5 p.m., Monday–Friday, excluding public holidays).
