option. NEVER place the card number in an email.

Information on Use of Prepaid Visa:
In order to aid student organizations in the purchasing process, Wichita State University Financial Operations and
Business Technology has a Prepaid Visa program. The Prepaid Visa can be directly loaded with funds from the
organization’s Safekeeping account (not personal funds). Any organization wishing to take part in this program must
adhere to the following stipulations:
Organizations must have a Safekeeping account set up with the university.
Organizations must have adequate money in their Safekeeping account to cover money transferred to the
Prepaid Visa.
Organizations must request the use of a Prepaid Visa from Financial Operations a minimum of three (3) business
days prior to the proposed date of checkout.
Only students and advisors named as signatories on the Safekeeping account may request the use of a Prepaid
Visa.
Organization advisors must approve and sign-off on any use of the Prepaid Visa.
Organizations may load up to $500 on the Visa for any event’s or traveler’s expenses. Additional funds may be
loaded with pre-approval.
Any funds not used by the organization will be transferred back to the group’s Safekeeping Account.
All purchases made with the Prepaid Visa must be in compliance with all university policies and procedures.
o Any purchases made violating university policies and procedures will be charged back to the student or
staff member that checked out the card from Financial Operations.
In some circumstances, receipts must be turned in to Student Involvement within two (2) business days of
purchase for event expenses or within two (2) business days of the date of return for travel expenses. Be sure to
take this into consideration when stating the Check In Date for the prepaid card on the Safekeeping Prepaid Visa
Request form. Be aware that all transactions are subject to internal review.
The university has blocked certain types of retailers like liquor stores, casinos and adult entertainment locations.
Careful attention should be given to over-the-phone purchases. Make sure the merchant uses the correct zip
code; otherwise, it could be declined.

Will I be able to make an online purchase with this card?
Your card allows you to make a purchase online; however, when prompted for the billing address, you need to make sure
you put in WSU’s address of 1845 Fairmount Box 38, Wichita, Kansas 67260-0038. Remember that the card number
should not be saved as a payment option nor should the card number be written in an email.
Are there any special types of transactions I should know about before I shop?
Gas Stations - If you use your card at an automated fuel dispenser (i.e., pay at the pump) it may result in a hold
on your funds of $75.00 or more. To avoid this hold, you may go into the gas station and pay the cashier for your
purchase in advance, and specify the exact dollar amount of gas you would like to purchase.
Restaurants and Other Merchants - Restaurants, hair salons and some other types of merchants may obtain an
authorization on the card for an amount greater than the total service bill to cover any gratuity that may be added.
Be sure that the balance on the card is sufficient to cover the cost of the bill plus any anticipated gratuity. If the
card is declined, asked the merchant to obtain an authorization for an amount equal to or less than the balance on
your card. Pay the difference with another form of payment.
Hotels - Hotels may put a hold on your card in the amount of your estimated bill, which will make that amount
unavailable for other purchases. The hold may last from the time you check in to a few days after you check out.
Auto Rentals - Auto rental establishments may require you to reserve your car with a credit card. They may allow
you to use your card for the final payment. Please check with the establishment for their specific procedures.
