One Card Program

The University of èßäapp System One Card program is designed to provide a more efficient means of making routine purchases and payments, as well as travel and travel related expenditures (excluding per diem expenses).

This card will enable those granted delegated authority to purchase non-restricted commodities from merchants in person, by phone, fax or internet directly. It eliminates the need for issuing low-dollar purchase orders, reduces blanket purchase orders and minimizes the use of Direct Expenditure Vouchers. 

GETTING STARTED

Application

A Cardholder Application Form, located in PeopleSoft myForms, must be submitted to request a new card.  The on-line application can be filled out by the potential cardholder or someone on his/her behalf.  It will be electronically routed to the appropriate individuals for approval and then to the One Card Team for processing.  Once processed, a notification will be sent to the cardholder indicating the type of card, purchasing/travel/both, and limits that have been requested.  Information regarding training will also be included in the notification.

For information on how to Navigate to and fill out a One Card Application, you may reference the .

Cardholder Training & Additional Resources

Cardholder training, which outlines how to properly use a One Card, is required before a card will be issued to a new cardholder.  In addition, cards renew every three years.  Before a cardholder receives a replacement card the training must be repeated. Training is available on demand and can be found within Percipio.  Each session ends with a quiz and agreement of the Responsibilities and Terms of being a cardholder.  The One Card team will be automatically notified upon successful completion of the training.

University Policies & Procedures related to One Card Purchases

TRANSACTION EXCEPTIONS

Disputes

There are several reasons why a transaction may be disputed; charge is a duplicate or does not match the receipt, item never received, etc.  It is recommended that you first contact the merchant to resolve the issue.  Our card provider, US Bank, will assist if necessary as long as the problem has been reported within 60 days of the transaction date.  To initiate the dispute process, please fill out the One Card Dispute Form, located in PeopleSoft myForms.  For information on how to Navigate to and fill out the form, you may reference the .

Fraud

To reduce the exposure to fraudulent charges, lost/stolen One Cards must be reported to our card provider, US Bank (800-344-5696), and the One Card Team. US Bank often catches suspicious charges before the Cardholder notices any activity on his/her card. In this case, US Bank will contact the Cardholder directly at which time the Cardholder will need to verify the charges in question. A temporary block will be placed on the card until the charges have been verified by calling the US Bank (800-344-5696). It is the responsibility of the Cardholder to work directly with US Bank to resolve the issue.

Cardholders may also take advantage of the .  This program, provided by US Bank, allows a Cardholder to register his/her One Card account and choose the alert type to be received in the event of possible fraud:  mobile text message, email, and/or phone call.  The notification alerts Cardholders to suspicious activity and allows them to conveniently reply to the message, either confirming validity or indicating fraud. 

Reimbursement

Accidental personal transactions that cannot be reversed by the merchant, must be reimbursed to the University.  A One Card Reimbursement Form is located in PeopleSoft myForms.  For more information on how to Navigate to and fill out the form, you may reference the .  See One Card Reimbursement Procedures for additional guidance regarding the reimbursement process.

Integrity and Accountability

The University is committed to accountability, transparency, and the protection of students, employees, patients, and visitors.  We expect professional, honest, and respectful interactions to make our System a better place to live, work, and learn. The University makes efforts to ensure you feel comfortable approaching your supervisor or manager to raise questions and voice concerns about workplace and University issues, or if you believe a violation of a law, policy or standard has occurred.
