The University of Arkansas at Little Rock Credit Card Program (Procurement Cards Policy 308.6) is designed to help departments or organizational units manage purchases of predetermined dollar limits. Credit cards facilitate the acquisition of lower dollar purchases needed for conducting official university business. Personal purchases are strictly forbidden and may result in disciplinary action.

University-issued Credit Card/Account Types include:

  • Procurement Card (Purchase of low dollar amount commodities and goods)
  • Travel Card (Travel-related expenses for an individual employee or named department)
  • CTS Account (used for department-wide travel arrangements)

Why use a credit card?

University-issued credit cards allow for an accelerated, flexible method of purchasing to support the needs of departments as they go about conducting official UA Little Rock business. The UA Little Rock Credit Card Program utilizes internal management and various methods of control outlined on the Credit Card Procedures page. The purpose of the program is to establish a more efficient, cost-effective way for departments to make purchases. Using the card will be a benefit to the university, its suppliers, and your department. The university will save time and money by consolidating paperwork, suppliers will receive payment more quickly, and your department will get its supplies without unnecessary delays.

If your department is not utilizing a credit card, Procurement Services will be glad to review the program with you and your staff to see how it can benefit your department.
