UMW Finance Card<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The UMW Finance Cards are credit cards that can be used by members of the UMW community to pay for certain items that are not allowed on the SPCC. Some cards have individual names; other cards have department names. People who hold UMW Finance Cards in their own name or in the name of a department–and their immediate supervisor–are required to complete annual training. The UMW Finance Card is separate and distinct from the Commonwealth SPCC card and has been branded as the UMW Finance Card with a “UMW Finance” logo to prevent any confusion with the SPCC.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

UMW obtained a very specific exception from the Department of Accounts (DOA) in order to have UMW Finance Cards; therefore, this web site will attempt to clearly guide the UMW community through the process of using these Cards, including the circumstances surrounding the allowed use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Due to the specifics of the DOA exception to have these Cards, an individual with a Card in his\/her name might be required to get an additional exception from Accounts Payable for expanded use of the Card outside the normal realm of purchases for which the Card was issued to the individual. For example, coaches are generally issued Finance Cards for team travel. If a coach wants to take a job candidate out for a business meal, the coach needs to get written approval from Accounts Payable PRIOR to using his\/her named UMW Finance Card in that capacity. Cardholders and Supervisors of those Cardholders can find details regarding mandatory UMW Finance Card processes at UMW Finance Card Processes<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

PRIOR TO RESERVING A CARD, EMAIL payables@umw.edu<\/a> for approval to use the card.<\/strong> AFTER receiving the approval from payables, a UMW Finance Card can be reserved by contacting the Cashiers Office<\/a>. Appropriate documentation (as indicated within the links below) must be provided to the Cashier in order to check out a UMW Finance Card.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
