In an effort to provide increased convenience and security, US Bank will begin issuing cards with contactless functionality on all new PCards, beginning July 1, 2020. In addition, cards expiring in August 2020 and beyond will receive a contactless card in advance of their expiration.

You will notice a slight change to the appearance of the card from your current custom card design. Most noticeably is the contactless icon which will now appear on the back of the card.

The University is launching its new prepaid card program in July 2020! These cards will be MasterCard branded, reloadable credit cards that will be used for a variety of business purposes, including the following:

Guidelines for the program and a new request form will be available in Mountaineer Marketplace to request prepaid cards soon. Procurement, Contracting & Payment Services will provide more information as we get closer to the launch date. If someone from your college/department has a need for a gift card or human subject payments soon, please contact PCard Administration and we can coordinate setting up your study or program in our system.

As part of our continuing efforts to help faculty and staff work smarter and simplify how we operate, the Procurement Contracting and Payment Services (PCPS) team soon will be making enhancements to West Virginia University’s process for submitting supplier requests, as well as simplifying the process for suppliers who are doing business with the University.
