Steps to enroll with Embark

Alphabet/Google requires all standard suppliers to enroll using Ariba, however, there are exceptions. Payees that are exempt from using Ariba will use an alternate enrollment tool called Embark. Your Google point of contact will initiate your enrollment request in the appropriate tool for you by determining if your use case falls into the standard or exception process

Payees enrolling through Embark can complete the process one of two options:

1. OPTION 1: Your Google point of contact can submit the enrollment request on your behalf
2. OPTION 2: Your Google point of contact can send an enrollment invitation for you to self-enroll

As you complete this enrollment process, please have your organization’s information ready (e.g. tax and banking info) so that you can fully complete the enrollment form as you will not be able to save and continue form completion at a later time.

OPTION 1: If your Google point of contact is submitting the enrollment request on your behalf

1. Reach out to your Alphabet/Google point of contact to submit an enrollment request on your behalf and provide him/her with the following information:
   • Contact information (name and address)
   • Banking information (e.g. account holder name, bank name, account and routing number, payment authorization contact)
   • Tax details as applicable (e.g. tax classification, tax ID, W9 and/or W8)
   • Legal status (e.g. are you a U.S. citizen)
2. Once your Alphabet/Google point of contact submits the enrollment form with your information, you’ll receive a confirmation email with the subject line Alphabet/Google is reviewing your enrollment request. If additional information from you is needed the Alphabet/Google team will reach out to you directly
   If you don’t respond to our message within 10 business days from the request date, our team will close out the pending enrollment. If this happens, you’ll need restart the enrollment process by submitting a new enrollment form.
3. Please ensure you provide complete and accurate information on the enrollment form to avoid delay in your enrollment. Once all the information has been provided, please allow 5-8 business days for your enrollment to be processed. Once confirmed by our team, you are enrolled with Alphabet/Google!
