WVU launches new prepaid card program
As part of our continuing efforts to help faculty and staff work smarter, the WVU Procurement Contracting and Payment Services team has launched a new prepaid card program, effective today (July 1).
The prepaid cards are MasterCard branded, reloadable credit cards that may be used for a variety of business purposes, including:
- Researchers should use the cards for human subject payments.
- The cards may be used by WVU Athletics staff for student athlete meals per diems and incidentals.
- Faculty and staff may use the cards for prizes or rewards instead of providing gift cards.
- The cards also may be used to fulfill other business needs as determined by the PCPS team.
The prepaid cards will be issued through the University’s contractual partner, Vincent. Payees can use the card as a standard credit card, ATM or bank withdrawal, POS cash back or transfer to existing bank accounts ($2 fee). Payees can withdraw cash without fees by:
- Using any MoneyPass ATM to avoid fees. These ATMs can be located by using moneypass.com.
- Visiting a bank that accepts MasterCard and obtaining cash through a walk-up bank teller.
- All retail point of sale or POS with a cash back option.
Guidelines for the prepaid card program and a card request form are available in Mountaineer Marketplace.
