Changes to the corporate card program The university has entered into an agreement with U.S Bank Canada for the use of a Royal Bank Visa Corporate Card. On May 1, 2000, U.S. Bancorp purchased the Royal Bank Corporate Card portfolio. Together with the Royal Bank, U.S. Bancorp, under the trade name U.S. Bank Canada, jointly markets the corporate card program to both commercial and public sector entities in Canada. U.S. Bank Canada is the largest issuer of Visa corporate cards in the world and a leading developer of corporate payment systems. While the scale of their operations provides advantages to all their customers, U.S Bank Canada is managed by Canadians on behalf of organizations operating in Canada. Concordia University’s partnership with U.S. Bank Canada for the use of a Royal Bank Visa Corporate Card was made to simplify the acquisition, receipt and payment of low-dollar-value purchases and travel expenses. The use of the corporate card for such expenses should result in time and dollar savings and increased user satisfaction, while adhering to government guidelines and university policies. If you are already a holder of an American Express Corporate Card, please note that your card will expire on February 15, 2002. Current card holders will be contacted within the next few weeks to facilitate the transition to the new Royal Bank Visa Corporate Card. Training sessions on the use of the card, as well as a detailed procedure guide, will be provided to all card holders. If you have any questions concerning Concordia’s new Corporate Card Program, or want to receive an application, please contact Rod Parsons, Manager, Accounts Payable, at: parsons@alcor.concordia.ca |
