Can I use my PCard to pay for something through PayPal?

Yes, as long as it is for a good and not a service provided by an individual. Payments to individuals are not allowed on the PCard.

However, please note that the cardholder is responsible for ensuring compliance with Spending Guidelines, procurement guidelines and travel guidelines.

The cardholder is responsible for ensuring compliance with:

  1. Spending Guidelines
  2. Procurement Guidelines
  3. Travel Guidelines 

The PCard program is designed to accommodate efficient, low-dollar purchasing. However, all transactions are governed by university purchasing guidelines. These are:

  • All transactions $5,000 and above must follow the requisition process
  • Whenever a department spends more than $5,000 with a single supplier within a fiscal year, those purchases must go through the requisition process.

If needing to spend more than $5,000 in a single transaction, first request a Temporary Change to Spending Limits.
