Phishing Attempt Notice
Fraudulent email phishing scams have been reported involving purchase orders and requests for quotes/proposals that claim to originate from NYU.
If you've received a request for a quote, online inquiry, or email coming from a domain other than nyu.edu, this is fraudulent. We encourage suppliers to learn the common traits or themes of phishing emails.
We encourage suppliers to verify the legitimacy of any order they receive and report any suspicious activity to our procurement department immediately through FinanceLink.

To ensure the most efficient process for working with the University, we recommend following the Procure to Pay process, reviewing tips sheets for onboarding, and our guide to payments listed below.
- Suppliers must be registered and approved to conduct business with NYU.
- In order to provide goods and or services to NYU, it is necessary for the supplier to first receive a Purchase Order from the University. Verbal orders from NYU personnel will not be accepted.
