Will you be ready when your corporate or governmental agency customers ask you to accept their Purchasing Card?

Every day, more and more companies and governmental agencies are choosing to authorize and control their small dollar purchases electronically by giving their employees and purchasing departments cards such as the MasterCard Purchasing Card.

Purchasing Cards are more than just a convenient payment method for companies and governmental agencies - it is a new system for authorizing small purchases and capturing vital information regarding the transaction.

Naturally, different companies and governmental agencies have data capture requirements. To meet these varying needs, Purchasing Cards support three different levels of transaction data capture. UPC supports all three levels.

Level 1 Data

  • Transactions are processed just like consumer credit cards transactions. This enables Purchasing Cards to be used at all credit card accepting merchants locations worldwide.

Level 2 Data

  • The terminal or PC software captures additional transaction data, such as sales tax amount, your customer’s accounting codes and other information used by your customers to track expenses.

Level 3 Data

  • At this level, detailed information such as product codes, duty amounts, quantities, etc. can be captured to provide comprehensive line item detail reporting to your customers. Due to the amount of information to be handled during the transaction, specialized PC software must be used.
  • Data is formatted and transmitted electronically by your processor to interface directly with your corporate customer’s purchasing, general ledger and accounting systems.
  • It is this superior data capture and reporting capability that makes Purchasing Cards unique - and the reason why it is in such demand among your corporate and governmental agency customers.
  • This level will also qualify your business to take advantage of interchange levels specifically priced lower for these types of transactions.

Your Relationship Manager can provide you with additional details. Please contact UPC at your earliest convenience.
