Credit Card Programs

The Office of Credit Card Programs administers both the procurement card and university-sponsored corporate cards. This office can assist you with the following:

  • The application process
  • Managing card accounts (cancellations/suspensions)
  • Policy questions

A procurement card (also known as a Purchasing Card, or "PCard") is a Visa charge card that may be used for the purchase of business-related goods and services, excluding travel-related items. It is intended for employees whose positions require frequent, small-dollar purchases. Because procurement cards are corporate liability cards, Cornell remits payments directly to its bank. There are very strict documentation requirements for purchases made with procurement cards.
