    SWIFT Update May 19, 2017

    Vendor File Update - Change of Address

    Next week, you will notice two changes when submitting vendor address updates.  When adding a new address, you will now be required to include Doing Business As (DBA) name and comments on your address request.  However, you will NOT be able to change the DBA Name on existing addresses.

    • DBA NAME 1 and DBA NAME 2 will be new fields on the address page
    • The Comments field is now a required field. Comments should include the requester’s name, contact information (e.g. phone number), and a brief explanation for the change.
    • The County field is now a required field. For Counties in other states, Enter NON MINNESOTA in the county field.

    MMB receives several requests daily to update vendor addresses. 

    Reminder: The vendor or the agency doing business with the vendor is responsible for submitting address requests in SWIFT. Once this step has been completed, the change is routed to the MMB vendor team for approval.

    Questions on how to submit these requests can be forwarded to vendor.mmbefax@state.mn.us.
