  • Procurement Card (pCard)

    A payment method whereby internal customers (requisitioners) are empowered to deal directly with suppliers for purchases using a credit card issued by a bank or major credit card provider. Generally, a pre-established credit limit is established for each card issued. The cards enable eProcurement and facilitate on-line ordering, frequently from pre-approved suppliers under blanket contracts. (Martin & Miller, 2006)
