Vendor Invoices and Payments
The City of Sault Ste. Marie is in the process of phasing out cheques in order to ensure a more efficient and environmentally friendly invoice payment method. Over the next few months we will be transitioning to Electronic Funds Transfer as described below.
Electronic Fund Transfers
Electronic Fund Transfers (EFTs) is the City’s preferred method of payment. EFTs are direct deposit payments that are secure, convenient and ensures quicker receipt of payment.
The City will continue to produce cheque payments however the frequency of these will be reduced over the coming months as we transition to EFTs.
Complete the application form and return by email to accts.payable@cityssm.on.ca with a void cheque or encoded deposit slip.
Email Invoice Submission
If you prefer to send your invoices by email, forward to accts.payable@cityssm.on.ca. This improves the City’s ability to track your invoice and allows for the processing of the invoice in a timely and efficient manner (do not send the original invoice by mail).
If you are already sending invoices by email to your Accounts payable contact, please change the email address to accts.payable@cityssm.on.ca.
If you provide goods and services to the Sault Ste. Marie Police Department, continue to submit your invoice directly to them.
Payment Terms
The City’s standard payment term is 30 days, unless otherwise stated on the vendor invoice.
