How the PCard Works

Printer-friendly versionPDF version

PCards are not transferable and can only be used by the cardholders on behalf of their department for approved University purchases.

  • The system validates transactions against a pre-set list of authorization criteria established by the University;
  • Transactions are posted on the cardholder's online account;
  • Cardholders log into their account to complete reconciliations;
  • Transactions are billed monthly to the University through an electronic statement;
  • Payments Services processes payment directly to Scotiabank based on the electronic statement;
  • Transactions are posted to the general ledger in FRS according to the GL information provided during the cardholders' reconciliation.
