UNSPSC 84140000: Credit agencies

UNSPSC 84140000 Credit agencies (Family) covers state and local procurement of payment processing, card management, and credit-related financial services. Recent state and local solicitations under this code reflect a diverse mix of purchasing card programs, merchant processing services, fleet card solutions, travel card programs, and specialized financial services including debt collection and customer identity verification. State and local governments are acquiring turnkey card platforms with integrated compliance controls, real-time transaction authorization, fraud detection, PCI-DSS compliance, and web-based reporting; merchant processing systems for point-of-sale terminals and online gateways; and specialized services such as purchasing card rebate management, emergency payroll disbursement cards, and curbside management revenue collection systems.

The issuing-body mix includes county governments (Pinellas County, Broward County, Gwinnett County, Burke County, Hays County, and Gwinnett County Schools), municipalities (City of Kingman, City of Alexandria, City of Fort Worth, City of Hayward, Town of Palm Beach), state departments and agencies (Washington Department of Enterprise Services, Illinois Department of Revenue, Nevada Department of Employment Training and Rehabilitation, Kentucky Office of Fleet Management), school districts (Polk County Public Schools, Volusia County Schools, Cobb County School District, Gwinnett County Public Schools), universities (University of Wisconsin, University of Mississippi), transit and regional authorities (Yamhill County, Oregon), and specialized entities (Superior Court of Los Angeles County, Salt Lake City Department of Public Utilities).
