Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD) is encouraging all District vendors to apply for electronic fund transfer (EFT).

EFT payments provide both the sender and receiver with the following advantages:

• Direct payment ensures that payment reaches the vendor in a timely manner.

• Direct payment eliminates the possibility of a warrant payment being lost or delayed in the mail.

• Remittance advice will be mailed to the vendor 2-3 days after the transfer of funds to the vendor's account.

• Once enrolled, all invoice payments will be paid via EFT.

• Reduced paper waste
