Simplify business expenses with a PCard or Travel Card

Jul 14, 2025 | News

The University of Michigan offers two convenient payment solutions for employees who make departmental purchases or submit business expense reimbursements for hosting, supplies, or travel. The PCard streamlines departmental purchasing and eliminates the hassle of reimbursements, while the Travel Card is specifically tailored for employees who travel for work but do not make department-related purchases.

Benefits of the PCard or Travel Card include:

  • No need to use personal funds or credit cards or seek reimbursement for U-M business expenses
  • Secure payments with tracking and support from JP Morgan Chase for unauthorized charges
  • Quick, immediate point-of-sale payments when direct purchase is necessary
  • No foreign transaction fees
  • Built-in insurance for medical emergencies and lost/stolen property during business travel
  • Prepopulated expense data in your Emburse Enterprise eWallet
  • Uploaded receipts with OCR-readable text automatically merge to corresponding transactions
  • Reduced risk of being taxed on late reimbursements for out-of-pocket expenses
  • More accurate and efficient university expense reporting

For more information or to apply for a card, visit the PCard & Travel Card page on the Procurement Services website.
