U.S. Bank VISA Corporate Card

Program Overview

The VISA Corporate Charge Card is a university-sponsored card issued to university employees at no charge and should be utilized for all travel and entertainment related expenses (airline tickets, hotel charges, car rental, meals, etc.). Its use is limited to official UCD business travel and entertainment. Cardholders shall charge only their travel and/or entertainment expenses to their card unless the cardholder has been granted Group Leader Authorization.

The goals of the program are to provide a source of credit to university travelers, convenient access to cash and reduction in the need for out of pocket expenses. This program also streamlines the university's reimbursement of expenses through direct payment to U.S. Bank VISA.

Travelers who have been issued corporate travel cards are strongly encouraged to use such cards whenever possible in order to reduce departmental and administrative costs associated with processing cash advances.

The cardholder is solely responsible for timely payment of the charges incurred on the U.S. Bank VISA. All travel should be reported promptly upon return so payments can be made in a timely manner. If the card must be paid before the trip is complete (e.g., conference registration paid months in advance) complete the Request for Corporate Card Payment. It is the cardholder's responsibility to review their monthly statement and ensure that charges are legitimate and that payments are made.

The Guide to Benefits provides additional information on the card. If you have general questions regarding benefits, contact the Travel & Entertainment Help Desk at (530) 757-8888.
