Applying for a Corporate Purchasing Card

Purchasing Card applicants must either be a permanent employee or employed on a fixed term contract for at least 6 months. Applicants should nominate the monthly credit limit required; however, the application and requested credit limit is subject to approval by the Manager, Accounts Payable & Supply. It will be necessary to complete the following forms:

Purchasing Card Application
Purchasing Card Acknowledgement and Declaration
All Corporate Card related forms can be found at Corporate Card Forms.

Once the abovementioned Forms have been completed, verification of identification will be required. This can be done in three ways:

1. Provide 100 points of acceptable Identification (refer List of Acceptable Documents and Identification Points ) verified by a JP or Commissioner of Declarations. All documentation must be attached to your application.

2. Take your Drivers Licence to a CQUniversity Verifying Officer for verification. Click here for a current list of CQUniversity Verifying Officers. The Verifying Officer will take a copy of your licence and this will be held on file.

3. If you are an existing CBA account holder, or a Travel Card holder, account details or a copy of your Travel Card will be sufficient. All details/documentation must be attached to your application.

The completed Purchasing Card Application Form, Acknowledgement and Declaration and appropriate Identification must then be forwarded to FSD Accounts Payable & Supply Department, Building 65, Level 2, Rockhampton Campus. The Manager, Accounts Payable & Supply will determine whether it is appropriate for the applicant to obtain a Purchasing Card and, if yes, the Director, Division of Finance will approve the application, as a signatory to the University bank account. The application will then be posted to the Commonwealth Bank for processing. The Purchasing Card usually takes approximately 3 weeks to be delivered and once it arrives you will be contacted to arrange collection of your Card. If you are located at a campus other than Rockhampton, the Card will be forwarded to you by Registered Post. Once you have received your Card, you must activate it and ensure that you sign the back of the Card. The Corporate Travel Card provider (CBA) will enclose information including Conditions of Use, which cardholders must comply with.

NB: When activating your card, you MUST speak to an operator at the Commonwealth Bank. CBA Phone Number - 13 15 76
