Introduction

Messiah College's Purchasing Card Program has been designed to allow for the direct procurement of low-value purchases by the end-user through the use of a credit card. Our intent is to eliminate the need for requisitions for small dollar amount purchases, reduce paperwork, simplify the payment process, and improve vendor negotiations.

For you, the cardholder, using the card will provide greater flexibility in ordering and provide a convenient mechanism for managing expenses for those that travel. Those requisitioners who have been issued credit cards may now initiate transactions in-person, by telephone, or FAX, within the limits of this procedure, and the limits of the individual card. Payments to vendors are made via the Visa settlement system.
