Paying from a U.S. Bank Account
IT IS VERY IMPORTANT to reference the appropriate OTT license agreement number (L-000-0000) on all payments.
Automated Clearing House (ACH) for payments through U.S. banks only
The NIH encourages our licensees to submit electronic funds transfer payments through the Automated Clearing House (ACH). Submit your ACH payment through the U.S. Treasury web site located at: https://www.pay.gov/public/home/makepayment. Enter “NIH” in the search function to locate the “NIH Royalty Payments” form.
Pay.gov can be used to make secure electronic payments to Federal
Government Agencies and is the preferred method of payment for NIH.
Please note that ACH Payments can only be submitted through Pay.gov.
The NIH now accepts DEBIT or CREDIT CARD payments for royalties. Go to the U.S. Treasury Web Site located at: https://www.pay.gov/public/home/makepayment. Enter “NIH” in the search function to locate the “NIH Royalty Payments” form. Transactions are limited to $24,999. You may not split payments using the same credit card if the total will be over the limit, even if partial payments are made on different days. However, you can use a different credit card for each partial payment. There is no transaction limit on the use of Debit Cards, except for the funds available in your account.
