PURCHASING CREDIT CARD
The P-Card is the preferred method for purchasing goods under $3000 as a fast, efficient means of payment. We encourage all P-Card holders to use their P-Card when making small dollar purchases under $3000. For further information on obtaining a P-Card please refer to Corporate Cards - Purchasing

DIRECT DEPOSIT FOR CANADIAN VENDORS
Accounts Payable offers direct deposit as the preferred method of payment to our Canadian vendors, this is a great alternative for vendors wishing to ensure they receive their payment quickly over the holidays and avoid their payment going out in the mail.

Vendors wishing to be set up with direct deposit can contact Suzanne Roberts @ 2219 or email her at Suzanne.Roberts@dal.ca for a direct deposit form. In order to set up a vendor with direct deposit they need to provide us with the completed form and a voided cheque.
