CITIBANK GOVERNMENT TRAVEL CARD PROGRAM INDIVIDUALLY BILLED ACCOUNT

STATEMENT OF CARDHOLDER RESPONSIBILITY

The Federal Travel Regulations state that the Government travel charge card can only be used for authorized official travel expenses such as transportation, lodging, and meals. The travel charge card will be honored by those merchants the agency has deemed necessary to conduct official travel. Monthly spend limits are also placed on the card. Restricted travel cards are issued to new cardholders who do not meet the minimum requirements set forth in OMB Circular A-123, Appendix B. The card may not be used for personal expenses at any time. Misuse of the card is subject to disciplinary action.

Based upon agency policy, a limited ATM cash advance may be obtained by the cardholder for estimated out-of-pocket expenses before leaving on an official trip. Bank fees and ATM fees incurred for ATM withdrawals using the government travel card can be claimed on the voucher as reimbursable expenses. Cardholders may not withdraw cash for personal expenses.

The travel charge card will be in the cardholder’s name and must not be used by any other person. The cardholder is personally liable for paying all undisputed charges on the monthly bank statement. If the account goes unpaid and delinquency occurs, the cardholder may be subject to disciplinary action and/or salary offset. A delinquent or cancelled account may adversely affect your personal credit rating. Cardholders should voucher within five days of completing travel to ensure prompt reimbursement. The use of split disbursement is mandatory and is helpful in preventing delinquency. Payment is expected to arrive at the bank, in full, by the statement due date whether or not reimbursement has been received.

The cardholder is encouraged to obtain access to their account online. This will allow the cardholder to monitor charges and determine any extra amounts that could be sent to the bank via split disbursement. You can access your statement at: https://home.cards.citidirect.com/CommercialCard/Cards.html

The cardholder must notify the bank of any address changes. If a questionable charge appears on the account, contact the merchant to discuss the transaction. The cardholder must file a dispute in writing with the bank within 60 days of the billing date on the statement the charge appeared if the merchant does not resolve the disputed charge. Immediately notify the bank if the travel card is lost or stolen. A replacement card with a new account number will be issued. Cardholders will not be liable for unauthorized charges resulting from the loss or theft of your card. Citibank’s toll free number is 1-800-790-7206. When the cardholder separates from the agency, the card must be turned in to the supervisor. The Agency/Organization Program Coordinator (A/OPC) will be notified to cancel the account.
