Welcome to the Northeastern University Procurement Credit Card Program. The procurement credit card is a procurement tool which offers an alternative to the existing University procurement processes and provides an extremely efficient and effective method of purchasing and paying for goods and services with a value of less than $3,000.

The procurement credit card concept is designed to delegate authority and capability to quickly and conveniently purchase approved commodities directly from vendors that accept the MasterCard credit card.

The benefits of the procurement card to you and Northeastern are significant.

Benefits to the Cardholder:

• Goods and services can be more quickly and easily obtained.
  
• Work related to the purchase of and payment for goods and services is significantly reduced.
  
• More efficient use of time will enable employees to focus on the value-added aspects of their jobs.

Benefits to the University:

• Reduces the number of requisitions, purchase orders, invoices and checks.
  
• Enables Purchasing and Accounts Payable to focus on higher yield value-added activities.

The procurement credit card is designed to be used for purchases related to University business only. Use of the card for personal purchases is strictly prohibited. The Purchasing Department and Accounts Payable are responsible for monitoring the effectiveness of the Procurement Credit Card Program.
