What is a Pcard?
The majority of states and large corporations have established programs
Not simply a credit card it’s a “payment tool”– The Commonwealth of Virginia uses the term “Charge
Card” so it does not infer they give employees credit
Includes technology to streamline your purchasing process

Commonwealth of Virginia Program
Sixteen years ago– 2,500 cards– Average spend $6 million for a fiscal year
Today– Over 20,000 cards– Average spend over $30 million per month– FY 2010 spend $426 million
The Commonwealth allows localities and authorities in Virginia to “piggy-back” on the State Contract
– Gives the localities and authorities the benefits of a large contract
– Gives the Commonwealth additional volume to reach higher rebate tiers
