Vendors Beware: Scammers posing as Commonwealth agents with EFT forms
The Office of the Comptroller (CTR) and the Operational Services Division (OSD) have been made aware of a scam targeting vendors to the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, or companies bidding on contracting opportunities with Commonwealth departments.
In many of these cases, vendors are purporting to represent the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, and are requesting that the vendor submit an Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT) Authorization Form with banking information if they want payments to continue.
Vendors are reminded that, if asked to submit banking information, they should contact a trusted source at the department with which they are doing business via phone or in person (not by email) to verify that the request is legitimate.
August 26, 2025 at 2pm:
We are aware of an issue preventing vendors from viewing payments that processed on certain dates in July and August, as well as new vendors from seeing their payment history and schedule. We are addressing the issue and apologize for the inconvenience.
Welcome to VendorWeb. Using this website, vendors to the Commonwealth of Massachusetts can easily and quickly view scheduled payments, payment history, and tax Forms 1099.
Please contact the Office of the Comptroller Solution Desk at comptroller.info@mass.gov or 617-973-2468 if you require assistance.
Massachusetts Open Checkbook Project
In order to make state spending information accessible to the public, the Executive Office for Administration and Finance, the Office of the Treasurer and the Office of the Comptroller have been working jointly on the Open Checkbook Project. On December 5, the public will be able to search state spending from three different perspectives for a specific vendor, for a specific secretariat or department, or for a particular spending category or sub-category. The pages will provide summarized information that the public will be able to explore for further detail, going down to the payment line level. To help answer any questions about the project, a
pre-recorded webcast for the Commonwealth Vendors will be posted to VendorWeb November 28. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ’s) are included in the memo to the Commonwealth Vendors.
Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT)
Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT) is the expected method for all payments due to increased efficiency, reduced costs, and secure payments to our payees/vendors.
Therefore, all contract vendors are expected to be paid via electronic payments by December 31, 2011.
Hardship exceptions for vendors in contract relationships are not expected.
In order to receive payment through EFT, vendors must complete the EFT form. The completed form must be submitted to the department you are doing business with to activate.
If you are doing business with more than one department you only need to fill out one form and send it to one department. Please click here for further information.
If you are currently receiving your payments electronically then you do not have to take any action.
