As part of City Schools' efforts to modernize our business practices, we are transitioning to digital payments (also known as ACH payments) for our vendors.

ACH payments will make it easier and faster for you to receive payments while also increasing their security. This change will protect you and the district against mail theft and check-washing fraud risks.

To support this more efficient and secure financial process, we require all vendors to switch to ACH payments before March 30, 2025. Your cooperation in this transition is crucial and appreciated.

Please provide your banking details by completing this ACH Enrollment Form and send to AP-ACH@bcps.k12.md.us. For security purposes, this notice can also be viewed on the City Schools’ procurement website by visiting www.baltimorecityschools.org and searching for “Procurement” in the search bar.

We understand that some vendors would prefer not to use ACH payments. If you want to continue receiving paper checks, please complete this Paper Payment Election Form before March 30, 2025.

We appreciate your support as we work towards a more secure way of doing business together.

If you have any questions or need assistance, please get in touch with us at VendorSupport@bcps.k12.md.us.
