    Yale University, Accounts Payable
    PO Box 208228
    New Haven, CT. 06520-8228

Note the following when submitting an invoice:

  • Each invoice should be scanned as single attachment. Multiple attachments per email are acceptable.
  • The email box is unmonitored. Emails should only contain invoices. Any messages included in the email will not be seen by the AP Team. Instead, support needs should be reported to the Finance Support Center (FSC) at askfinance@yale.edu.
  • Attachments should either be PDF or Tiff. Anything else will be rejected.

Standard Payment Terms are Net45

Yale’s preferred disbursement option is ACH.

  • All domestic suppliers are encouraged to sign-up for ACH to ensure fast and secure payment.
  • International Suppliers are encouraged to sign-up for wire payments.
  • Virtual credit card payments are available for domestic and international suppliers who meet specific criteria.
  • Payment by check is available, but strongly discouraged; payments rendered by check will result in a longer turn-around time for payment and expose both suppliers and Yale University to fraud.

The most efficient method of verifying the status of invoices/payments is through Yale’s Supplier Portal (iSupplier).

To gain access to the Supplier portal, please fill out the Supplier Portal Disclaimer form and send to askfinance@yale.edu with “Supplier Portal Disclaimer” in the subject line of the email.
