Purchasing cards are managed by Finance and are a quick and convenient way to make payments for items or services that are for the university’s use. Use of these cards is aimed at low-value type purchases where a purchase order cannot be used, such as booking a conference online.
There is an individual transaction limit of £500 and a monthly spend limit per card of £5,000. These limits may be increased in limited circumstances on the authorisation of the Deputy Director of Finance/Director of Finance.
Purchasing cards cannot be used for entertainment and hospitality. Please refer to the purchasing card policy for full guidelines.
Visit the Finance pages to apply for a card or for more information.
