Standardized P-card credit and transaction limits in effect 10/5

Beginning Monday, October 5, 2026, purchasing card limits at Washington State University will be standardized. The goal of this change is to reduce administrative burden for departments and accounts payable and empower purchases up to the direct buy limit. All cards will have the same monthly credit, daily transactions, and single transaction limits.

P-Cards that currently have limits under the standardized threshold will be increased to the new limits. Cards that have already been granted temporary or permanent increases above the standard limits will not be changed.

It is important for cardholders and departmental reviewers to understand the roles and responsibilities of the procurement card program as provided in UPPM 70.08. These employees should review this memorandum to view the new credit and transaction limits, learn why these changes were made, and access FAQs regarding their responsibilities as cardholders and departmental reviewers.

Those with questions or concerns after reviewing the memorandum above should reach out to WSU Payment Services, Card Programs at:
