Visa Purchasing and Corporate Card Programs

Lakehead University's credit card program consists of two types of cards: the purchasing card, for procuring and paying for low value goods and services, and the corporate card, for travel and hospitality services.

For both programs, a card is issued in both the cardholder's name and that of Lakehead University. To receive either Visa card, please email the complete application(s), found below, to Dianne Cataldo, Administrative Officer, at creditcard@lakeheadu.ca. Separate purchasing and corporate card applications need to be completed should you require both cards.
