The University recognizes that the ability to accept credit card payments is necessary for modern e-commerce.

It generally takes 2-4 business days for the credit card payments fully process and get to Bank of America.

If you do not see the transaction right away, you will likely see it in a few days.  If after 5 business days, you still are not seeing the Ad Hoc Bank Transactions, you can reach out to askfinance@virginia.edu.

Credit Card Transaction online

The process for getting revenue into the University starts with a point-of-sale system. When a transaction is started in a point-of-sale system, that system contacts a payment processor to verify the payment. The payment processor is Elavon. When the payment processor is contacted about a payment, they check with the credit card company to confirm the payment. The credit card companies respond with an “approve” or “deny” message, which is sent back to the point-of-sale system. This process only takes a few seconds.

See Policy FIN-001: Determining if an Award is a Gift or Sponsored Project

A Gift is defined as: an irrevocable transfer of assets (cash, stock, gifts, etc.) to the done such that the donor can exercise no further control over it and does not have expectation of any contractual requirements or potential benefits. To be tax deductible it must be donated to an organization recognized as charitable by the IRS (a 501(c) (3) corp).

University Foundations can use UVA Fund’s services to collect and process gifts and donations as the funds do not belong to the University, they are deposited into Foundation bank accounts. If the monies the event is collecting are University funds, deposited into University revenue projects, then UVA Fund cannot function as a processor for your event (see Policy FIN-016: Receiving and Depositing Cash and Other Monetary Instruments) as the funds are required to be deposited directly into University Bank Accounts.

The Payment Card Industry has addressed access to cardholder data through the Standards and identify what screening that potential employees must pass in order to gain access to cardholder data including reports. This standard is required for EMPLOYEES and recommended even if the employee is a cashier and exposed to one card at a time.


12.7 Screen potential personnel prior to hire to minimize the risk of attacks from internal sources. (Examples of background checks include previous employment history, criminal record, credit history, and reference checks.)

At Elavon, the credit is processed and submitted to the bank along with the settlement.
Per Visa and MasterCard Regulations, the Bank has up to 30 days to apply a credit/refund to their cardholder’s account. This is not something that we can control.
