P-Card Program

A P‐card is a University credit card issued to employees who have a business need to make small or frequent
purchases on behalf of the University.

Global Reporting and Account Management (GRAM) is a Bank of America and MasterCard portal used to
reconcile P‐card activity. Beginning with the June 2019 statement, all statements should be reconciled electronically on GRAM. Paper settlements will no longer be accepted. See the ‘GRAM Log In Guide’ for more information on how to log in and the ‘How to Create a Monthly P‐card Expense Report Guide’ for more information on reconciling your statement using GRAM.

There are 3 types of access in GRAM. Cardholder, Level Manager and Account Group Manager. If you approve P‐card Expense Reports, you are a Level Manager. If you support cardholders in preparing P‐card Expense Reports you are an Account Group Manager.

P‐cards can be used for travel and entertainment and most purchases under $1,000. See ‘Credit Card/Purchase Card Policy’ for more information.

No, replacement cards are not issued. The existing University credit cards will be used as P‐cards

An employee’s supervisor can email uiwcc@uiwtx.edu to request a card. The request should include the
employee‘s name, school ID number, home org and requested monthly credit limit. P‐cards take about 10 business days from request date to arrive.

Call 1‐888‐449‐2273 to report your card lost or stolen. Bank of America will freeze the lost card and initiate a case to issue a replacement card.

Cards can be declined for wrong pin, fraud alert, bad chip read, etc. Call the number on the back of your card to verify the charges.
