Payment Methods

For domestic suppliers, VPF Accounts Payable’s standard payment method is direct deposit (ACH) via the MIT Buy-to-Pay Supplier Portal (Coupa).

For foreign suppliers, wires are treated as exceptions and require approval by VPF Accounts Payable. Bank information and wire instructions must be included on invoices. If a foreign supplier (non-individual) has a U.S.-domiciled bank, they may be paid by paper check or Paymode-X.

For foreign suppliers, please reach out to Buy-to-Pay at b2p@mit.edu for questions about payment.
