Penny Ping tracks Panama City’s purchasing-card spending
A public dashboard organizes Panama City P-card transactions into reports on travel, staff, places, spending areas, and individual purchases.
- For
- Panama City residents reviewing local government spending
- Worth noticing
- The site says its records cover purchases from August 27, 2024, through September 30, 2026, and are not a live spending view.
Field notes
The report menu separates several ways of reading the records, from travel and department-level spending areas to individual transactions and selected purchases. Filters listed on the page include merchant, cardholder, fund, date range, minimum charge, and purchase group. Its caveats say the dataset excludes other City spending and reimbursements, and that cardholder-linked charges may cover a department rather than an individual's own expenses.
