Thank you for being a General Atomics (GA) Supplier. ActivePay® by PNC Bank® (“ActivePay”) is GA's preferred method for paying qualifying Supplier invoices electronically. Using ActivePay, GA pays enrolled Suppliers using a VISA issued "virtual" credit card. This payment method replaces paper checks and Automated Clearing House (ACH) payment methods. ActivePay payments are processed through our partner bank, PNC.

Using ActivePay, we can eliminate the delays associated with a paper-based process, so you receive your payments sooner.

ActivePay Benefits to GA Suppliers:

  • Reduce payment delay and receive your payments faster
  • Eliminate paper checks to support sustainability
  • Reduce your cost of handling paper checks
  • Eliminate lockbox/depository fees
  • Receive real-time notifications regarding your payments

Once you are enrolled in ActivePay with GA, we use an automated system which sends an email to the email address that you provide on the enrollment form each time a payment is being made. Using this notification, you’ll process the payment against the account that we issue.

GA offers two payment methods using ActivePay: (1) Single Use, and (2) Dedicated. See below for details:

Option 1 – Single Use: a one-time use only virtual credit card (Recommended)

  • Receive a secure email containing a link to a “Single Use” credit card number, expiration date, & card verification value (CVV)
  • GA can provide you a secure, random
    • Personal Identification Number (PIN), or you may choose your own
  • When you click on the link in the email and enter your PIN you’ll receive the remittance advice; you are now authorized to charge the card and receive payment for your qualifying invoice(s)

Note: If you forget your PIN, we can reissue a new payment within 24 hours

Option 2 - Dedicated: a virtual credit card used for all future invoice payments

  • Receive a credit card number, including an expiration date and card verification value (CVV) with a $0 balance; you must maintain a record of the credit card details
  • Your secured account maintains a $0 balance until a payment has been processed
  • Once GA receives your invoice to pay, we will fund the dedicated card
  • You are now authorized to charge the card/process for payment

Note: If you forget your credit card number and/or pin number, a new card will be issued, and that process can take 2-5 business days.

General Atomics values the role our Suppliers play in our success. We look forward to building a powerful partnership with you.
