Overview
UC Berkeley maintains a Procurement Card Program (sometimes referred to as Pro-Cards or pro-cards), administered by the Procurement Card Program and issued by US Bank. Cardholder accounts are available to approved employees in order to facilitate the acquisition of goods and services for the university. Procurement Cards are credit cards that are subject to individual account, transaction, and vendor limitations, in addition to Procurement Card Program policies. Procurement Card accounts are a liability of the university and cannot be used to purchase personal or non-business related goods and services. Only the individual cardholder may use their card.
