  5. Introduction to the SPCC Program *Average administrative cost includes sourcing, purchasing, and payment activities

  6. Introduction to the SPCC Program • William & Mary is a Tier 3 institution. • Allows the University more autonomy to meet the needs of the institution. • The SPCC program is administered in accordance with the University’s Small Purchase Charge Card Procedures found on Procurement web page. • http://www.wm.edu/offices/procurement/index.php • The SPCC should be used for all allowable business purchases under $5,000 where a credit card is accepted. • SPCC cycle dates run from the 16th of the month to the 15th of the following month. • User interface – http://payment2.works.com/works

  7. Card Security • Your card must be kept in a secure but accessible location. • Do not share your card. The card may only be used by the person whose name is embossed on the card. • NEVER make a photocopy of your card or fax or email your full card number. • Cardholders may fax ordering information to a vendor and call a vendor to provide the card number live, but do not fax, text, mail or email the full card number to vendors. • Internet purchases are permissible only on secure sites – look for a padlock icon and the https:// designation in your browser’s address bar. • Report lost or stolen cards immediately to BOA and the Program Administrator.

  8. Spending Limits • Each card has a transaction limit and cycle (or monthly) limit. • Single transaction limits may be set to a maximum of $5,000 (departments’ delegated authority). • Cycle limits are set based on cardholder spending requirements up to a maximum of $100,000. • Limits may be increased by the Program Administrator with a business justification and supervisor approval via email. • Limit changes may be processed on a temporary or permanent basis. • If temporary, include the date your account should be returned to its original settings in the email request.

  9. Spending Limits • Know your limits • DO NOT authorize charges in excess of your SPCC single transaction or monthly limits for ANY reason. • If a limit increase is needed, email the Program Administrator with a justification and supervisor approval. • If a transaction is processed by a vendor without your consent, talk with the vendor directly, document your conversation and advise the Program Administrator to dispute the charge. • Splitting orders, whether by cardholder OR vendor, to circumvent limits is STRICTLY PROHIBITED and may be cause for card cancellation.

  10. Chip & PIN Integration • You will need to remember your PIN for point of sale purchases • Your Chip & PIN card also has a magnetic stripe and will continue to work at merchants that are not yet chip-enabled. • There is no change to online or phone transactions. Provide your card number and complete the purchase as you do currently. • Effective May 17, 2017 every new Chip card issued will allow the cardholder to customize their own 4-digit PIN at card activation. • Cardholders will have the ability to change or re-set their PIN at any time simply by calling the Global Card Services number listed on the back of their Chip card. • Until an existing cardholder is reissued a new chip card, their current PIN will remain unchanged and they are still able to view their PIN within the Global Card Access website at: www.BofAML.com/globalcardaccess

  11. Industry Restrictions • All cards are issued with standard restrictions against: • Fraud (may never be removed from a card account) • Gas • Restaurants • Lodging • Florists • Any charge attempted in the above categories will decline unless an exception is requested and the restriction is removed by the Program Administrator. • As with limit changes, an email to the Program Administrator from the cardholder containing a business justification and supervisor approval is needed to process an exception. • Exceptions are also available on a temporary or permanent basis. • If temporary, include the date your account should be returned to its original settings in the email request.

  12. Tax Exempt Status • As an agency of the Commonwealth of Virginia, W&M is tax exempt from almost all in-state purchases, exceptions are: • Air and Rail Tickets • Lodging • Out of state purchases are generally NOT tax exempt. Additional information on out of state purchases and a list of states where W&M qualifies for an exemption may be found here. • Advise vendors of tax exempt status BEFORE providing your card for payment. • The cardholder is responsible for obtaining a refund from the vendor if sales tax is charged incorrectly • Sales and Use Tax Exempt Numbers: • William & Mary – 54-6001718 • Virginia Institute of Marine Science – 54-6001802 • Contact Cindi Fellows (clfellows@wm.edu) in Tax Accounting for Tax exempt forms.
