The Recipient Select Plus (RSP) has been successfully rolled out for individual UMass suppliers who previously used Zelle as their preferred payment method. The activation process for the RSP portal will begin automatically once UMass initiates a new payment for the supplier. To assist you with your registration, use the information in our recent notification to you.

Payment options for individual suppliers are driven by the country of residence.
- U.S. residential addresses can choose from direct deposit, Zelle, and PayPal.

Checks continue to be an optional payment method for all suppliers.
