Welcome to the University of Texas Rio Grande Valley's Credit Card Program. The Credit Card Program is authorized by the State of Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts through a contract with a credit card bank. The Credit Card may be used with any vendor that accepts MasterCard as a form of payment.

The Credit Card Program is authorized by a State of Texas contract with Citibank via the Texas Procurement and Support Services (TPASS). The Credit Card combines the functionality of a traditional purchasing card with the functionality of a travel card allowing authorized employees to use the Credit Card for purchase, travel, and business expenses. This program will reduce the time and effort required to make payments for university purchase s and reduce out-of-pocket expenses. The use of the Credit Card does not exempt the university or its officers and employees from the purchasing/travel requirements of state and federal law and the TPASS. The Credit Card will be issued in the cardholder's name with the State of Texas emblem and the wording "Official Use Only" clearly indicated on the card. For more information regarding the Credit Card Program, please refer to the Credit Card Program Manual.
