Procurement Card Program

 Go to Paymentnet

Vanderbilt University has established a Procurement Card Program to provide expanded convenience and controls for low dollar purchases, and to establish a payment methodology that will support the future purchasing directions of internal and external transactions. The Procurement Card (PCard), an institutional credit card, is designed to give controlled buying power directly to the Departments/Divisions eliminating many purchase orders, check enclosed orders and University and Medical Demand Check Requests.

JP Morgan Chase MasterCard is the provider of the Vanderbilt University Procurement Card. MasterCard is readily accepted by most vendors and is a convenient purchase and payment tool for low dollar purchases.

Procurement Card Program Update
Effective Wednesday, February 13, 2008, responsibility for the Procurement Card Program has been transferred to Disbursement Services. This move is designed to allow Procurement to focus on support to the University Research community and has the added benefit of strategically aligning the Procurement Card Program with the similar functions of Disbursement Services. The Procurement Card staff will continue to occupy their current space at suite 805 Baker Building.

Effective Wednesday, March 01, 2006, the following changes will occur to the PaymentNet system used with Vanderbilt's Procurement Card Program.

Improved Password Standards...
To conform more closely to Vanderbilt's Access Security Password Standards the structure of the PaymentNet password has been improved and will require the following:
  1. Password length must be a minimum of eight (8) characters and a maximum of ten (10) characters.
  2. Password must include a minimum of two (2) special characters. Special characters include ~ ! @ # $ % ^ & * ( ) _ + { } : " < > ?
You can change your password to the new standards any time between today and March 01. Changing early should allow you to avoid the rush on March 01st.

New Web Address...
To provide improved system response, support future software version upgrades and provide an additional communication tool, we will be relocating Vanderbilt's Procurement Card Program's access to PaymentNet thru a new web location. The address of the new web site location is:
http://www.vanderbilt.edu/procurement/pcard/paymentnet.shtml
To allow you to implement both changes the next time you log into PaymentNet, the new web address is already established and will automatically handle the changes.

New Customer Service Email Address...
To provide improved customer service a new email address has been created for use with change requests (center adds, limit changes, etc.). The new Customer Service Email Address is:
pcard@list.vanderbilt.edu
