Only employees of the College are eligible to receive a College credit card. Contractors, temporary employees, and students are not eligible to receive a College credit card, pursuant to the card agreement with PNC Bank. Cardholders are responsible for the security of the card and all transactions made against the card. Cardholders will be required to sign a Cardholder Agreement as part of the application for a credit card, which can be found on the Business Office website at www.kzoo.edu/business.

Process for Obtaining a Credit Card

• College employee completes the application/agreement
• Supervisor:

• reviews the application/agreement
• approves the application/agreement
• assigns a Departmental Liaison, if applicable
• forwards to the Business Office

• The Business Office will request a credit card from PNC Bank
• The Business Office contacts the employee when the card arrives to arrange training related to the use of the card

The College credit card will have no impact on the Cardholder’s personal credit. Although the card lists an individual’s name, the card is actually a corporate charge card issued to the College.
