What is a PCard?

The 91tvӰԺ Procurement Card (PCard) is a 91tvӰԺ VISA credit card issued by JPMorgan Chase. 

Purpose of the Program

The 91tvӰԺ System PCard Program permits 91tvӰԺ System management to authorize the issuance of PCards to 91tvӰԺ System employees. PCards are allowed for purchases of small dollar commodities and services and travel for official 91tvӰԺ system business. The PCard Program allows for business purchases to be conducted in a more efficient and cost-effective process across the Procure to Pay system.

PCard Authority

The 91tvӰԺ System established a 91tvӰԺ System PCard Policy (#5-026) effective August 20, 2009. The Policy describes what is allowable. Also, all PCard purchases are subject to all of the 91tvӰԺ System and Florida Board of Governors regulations, policies and procedures as well as applicable Florida statues and Federal laws and regulations.

PROGRAM BENEFITS

The 91tvӰԺ System PCard Program provides the following benefits:

  • Streamlines the processes for small dollar orders and payments. The cost of purchasing goods and services with a PCard is significantly less than purchasing items via a purchase order.
  • Allows department personnel more time to perform other important tasks related to the University's educational mission.
  • Expands the vendor base by enabling cardholders to buy in person from local vendors, by telephone or online. Cardholders may also receive the lowest discounted price from vendors, since vendors will be paid quickly.
  • Pays merchants within 24 to 72 hours, depending upon when the merchant transmits the transaction to their servicing bank and how quickly the bank routes transactions to VISA.
