The University offers two primary card options for eligible faculty and staff who travel or purchase goods and services on behalf of their department: a Purchasing Card (PCard) and a Corporate Card.
To view more information about card services, visit the Harvard Card Services website.
Effective March 16, 2020, on campus pick up of cards is suspended until further notice. To support remote work guidelines while maintaining continuity of business, all new PCard, Department Card, or Corporate Card Applications must be processed with the employee's home address. Applications with a Harvard University address will be returned to the applicant to correct. PCards and Corporate Cards will be mailed to an employee's home address on the application.
NEW 07/08/20- Step-by-Step Guide to add a PCard to your WB Mason Account This guide provides Administrators with instructions on how to add their PCard to their WB Mason account. Adding a PCard reduces HCOM/B2P transactions during remote work, and will allow for office supplies that a department has determined meet their discretionary spending guidelines to be shipped directly to an employee or faculty member's home address.
If your manager cannot physically sign off on a card request application, an email stating approval from your manager will suffice until we return to campus.
