Check Printing Outsourcing: Impacts to Check Requests

As of June 7, UVA Accounts Payable will outsource check printing to Bank of America. This change will provide enhanced security against fraud as well as the opportunity for accounts payable staff to provide value-added services.

Your suppliers should not notice any changes (except mailed checks will have a North Carolina postmark instead of Virginia). The most significant impact is to “hold for pickup” checks and emergency check requests.

Hold for Pickup Checks

Hold for pickup checks will be available one to two business days after the request. See this schedule on the UVAFinance website for a general idea of when you can expect checks to be ready based on the date the invoice is paid in Workday.

Emergency Checks

Checks will be printed onsite for only very rare emergency cases, primarily in which University operations would be severely affected if payment is not made within 16 business hours. See this page on the UVAFinance website for guidelines on emergency check requests.
