Once submitted, PaymentWorks will get back to you by providing an Identity Verification and Affidavit form. This form will need to be filled out with the information of the account as it currently exists, and how you want it changed. It will need to be notarized for PaymentWorks to process the change.

  1. Submit a support ticket here: https://help.paymentworks.com/contactsupport

Multifactor identification

MFA (multi-factor authentication) is a required portion of the account set-up to protect banking information in a PaymentWorks account.Adding the phone factor is one way to increase the security of your account, and is required.

If you have access to your current MFA phone number:

If you do not have access to your current MFA phone number:

  1. Please file a PaymentWorks support ticket and include the previous phone number you used, and the email address associated with your account.
  2. Please note: you will have to complete an account verification process in order to change the MFA phone number

MFA alternative

If you are unable to change the current MFA, we recommend suppliers add additional users for the account. Each user can set up their own MFA phone number, so if one person is on vacation, the account can still be accessed by those who have a user account. To add an additional user, the supplier would:

  1. Log into PaymentWorks at https://www.paymentworks.com/accounts/login/
  2. Click “Account” in the top right corner
  3. Click “Manage Other Users,” then click “Add user”
  4. Enter all of the relevant information for the new user
  5. Click “Save”
  6. If the vendor is locked out, the only way for us to change the phone number is via the Account Verification Affidavit, which does require a notarization.
