If you travel or incur out-of-pocket expenses while conducting University business, speak with your department about obtaining a Business Travel Account (BTA) credit card. Work with leadership in your department to complete a BTA card application and submit it to [insert details].
When you use a BTA card, your transactions are synched to your Concur profile and are available to be substantiated on an expense report. This reduces the manual process required to request reimbursement and ensures you are not burdened with out-of-pocket costs while you conduct University business.
