PNC Updates
PNC Bank is discontinuing its stored value card program, Northwestern’s plastic payment option for research participants.
- Generic cards (no name or address on file) can be funded up to August 5, 2024
- Generic cards will remain open until the balance has been depleted or the expiration date.
- If funds remain on the card at expiration, the remaining balance will be escheated to the State of Delaware with the 16-digit card number as identification.
Solution updates
Depository Services is currently standing up a short-term solution and has a Request for Proposals (RFP) in process for long-term solution(s). The short-term solution aims to provide a plastic card option that will maintain consistency with current processes until a new supplier is identified and onboarded through the RFP.
