What assurance will I have that my payment is deposited to my account or electronically submitted?
The ePayables card has $0 funds until you receive a payment advice via email from the ePayable service provider. The payment notification will include a listing of the individual invoices paid and the total amount to charge to the virtual card; once notification is received, the total amount is available to be charged on your virtual card.

On the day a direct deposit transaction is generated, you will receive a payment advice via email listing the individual invoices being paid. Depending on your financial institutions arrangements for direct deposit transactions, it may take up to two business days for funds to post to your bank account.


After I apply for ePayables, how soon can I expect to participate?
Approximately one week after your approval of the ePayables payment method, a Gwinnett County representative will contact you via email initially. After the initial contact, you will be provided the specific virtual credit card number and expiration date to process payments going forward.


What do I do if for some reason my payment is not received after I receive the payment advice notification from the Gwinnett County Treasury Division – Disbursements Section?
Contact the Gwinnett County Treasury Division – Disbursements Section at 770.822.7872 for assistance in resolution.


What happens if I change financial institutions?
In the event that you change financial institutions, you can access your online Vendor Login and Registration on the County’s website and update the Direct Deposit tab with your new bank information. If your direct deposit is returned due to closing the account prior to making the change, you will receive your checks by mail.
