Avoid Delays - Sign up for Bill.com's Free ePayment

While Accounts Payable processing is current, checks are being delayed up to four weeks due to U.S. Postal Service delays. We encourage all volunteers and vendors to sign up to be paid ACH directly into your bank account through Bill.com’s ePayment free account. This service is free UNLESS the volunteer checks the box to GET PAID FASTER, which has an additional cost.
How to Sign Up
Volunteers can send us a request at accounting@score.org and we will send an invite. Instructions for accepting the invite and setting up an account are on the Support Center here.
Chapters may request SCORE to send an invite to a vendor by requesting it in an email to accounting@score.org with the vendor’s email address, which is required even if the vendor provides their bank routing information.
