Supplier recruitment is your organisations responsibility, they are your suppliers and you have a working relationship with them.

Should you want your existing suppliers to accept Purchase Cards explain to them how the Purchasing Card process works and what the main benefits to them will be, namely:

• Their payments from you received within four working days from the point of purchase.

• Reduction in their credit control costs not needing to produce or send invoices or statements.

Maintaining the goodwill of a long term working relationship with your organisation.

You should identify the best contact at your suppliers to speak regarding the implementation of your Purchasing Cards programme, it may not necessarily be the accounts receivables department as your point of contact and it could be better making contact with the sales department or the finance directors department.

Once you have identified which of your suppliers are already able to accept Card Payments and those who agreed they want to accept Purchase Cards, that’s when you need to point the non card capable suppliers in the direction of the acquiring banks for them to open an account and issue the supplier with a Merchant number.
