The Payment Card Industry has strict regulations which dictate how payment card acceptance can be implemented on campus. Departments at the University of Nebraska Kearney may request the ability to accept payment cards (credit and/or debit) as a method of payment provided they meet UNK policy, state and federal laws, contractual obligations, and the rules of UNK’s banks and financial institutions.
Departments must obtain approval from the Finance Department prior to initiating or engaging in any activity where payment cards (credit and/or debit) are used. Only approved equipment, payment gateways, processes and vendors may be utilized. Please involve the Finance Department as soon as a possible when considering the acceptance of payment cards as the approval process takes time. Contact Scott Olson at 8785 or olsons2@unk.edu with questions.
