Direct Deposit for Vendor Payments

The City of Grand Prairie is offering direct deposit for vendor payments. There are benefits to both the City and the vendors by using direct deposit payments.

Benefits to the vendors include having access to funds sooner without having to go to the bank and there is no need to worry about checks getting lost in the mail.

Funds are available immediately upon deposit into the vendor bank account. Once a payment is made, an email will be sent to the email address you provide with an attachment listing the invoice number, invoice date, amount of each invoice, and the total payment.

Your Internet Service Provider (ISP) may use filters to prevent unwanted emails from reaching your inbox. Sometimes, these filters also block messages you want to receive. In most cases, adding us to your list of trusted senders will solve this issue. If you need assistance, contact your ISP’s technical support department and ask how to receive emails from gptxap@gptx.org.

Please send the completed Direct Deposit Authorization form(PDF, 79KB)  to accountspayable@gptx.org or mail to:

City of Grand Prairie;
Accounts Payable
P. O. Box 534045
Grand Prairie, TX, 75053-4045

Please allow 3 weeks to set up the Direct Deposit process for your company after the City receives the information from you.
