P-Card Security/Fraudulent Charges/Card Security Access

P-Card Security

The Cardholder’s name is embossed on the P-Card. Cardholders must safeguard their P-Card as they would their own credit cards. Since the Cardholder is the only person authorized to use the P-Card and is solely responsible for every transaction on the P-Card, the employee should NOT allow anyone else to use a P-Card. An employee is responsible for safeguarding both the P-Card assigned to them as well as the account number against theft and unauthorized usage.

  • Remember that the account number can be found on receipts, charge slips, faxes, and invoices. If you use the P-Card to make telephone purchases, be aware that your card number may be overheard.
  • If you suspect that your account number has been stolen, contact the bank immediately to have the account closed.
  • P-Card misuse will lead to the cancellation of the P-Card account and may result in termination from GW employment and/or prosecution.
