How your Purchasing account works

This section gives detailed information about how your Purchasing account works and what your organisation needs to know to manage it most effectively.

This section is also for use by Public Sector Bodies running Her Majesty's Government procurement card schemes. Where there is a discrepancy between this site and your contract terms, your contract will take precedence.

The basics

Your Purchasing account is a charge account, meaning you settle your bill in full on your monthly billing date.

Using Purchasing cards in your organisation allows you to consolidate information about what is being spent, where and when, providing your business with the ability to plan, budget and above all, simplify your whole corporate buying process.

Using cards can also encourage more positive relationships with your suppliers and are convenient and flexible for your organisation too, as they can be used everywhere the VISA sign is displayed.
