Board signs off on switch to Huntington Bank for district commercial cards to reduce declines
Summary
Trustees approved a resolution to move the district's commercial card services from TIB to Huntington Bank after staff described repeated authorization declines and end-user problems; administrators said Huntington offers better control and no fees.
District staff asked the board to approve a resolution to enter a commercial card agreement with Huntington Bank and explained the change as an operational improvement to reduce credit-card authorization failures.
Courtney (presenting procurement details) described repeated problems with the current provider: authorizations for conference registrations and travel were declined despite proper authorization forms, forcing staff to use personal cards in at least one instance. She said the Huntington program offers more reliable authorizations and better administrative controls. "It's just gonna be better for our staff better for us on the end user side," Courtney said, adding the new program would allow more cards for activities such as CTE travel without additional fees.
Trustees asked questions and the board voted to adopt the resolution moving card services to Huntington Bank.
What's next: staff will finalize the Huntington service agreement and implement the new card-management process for district departments and activity groups.
