The University of Washington contracts with JP Morgan Chase to provide VISA charge accounts for travel expenses while on official University business.

There are two types of VISA charge accounts:

• Individual Travel Charge Card
• Department Travel Account (CTA - Central Travel Account)

Security Reminder

Beware of requests for credit card information. Email scams can be very convincing as they attempt to extract account information from the recipient. Never reply to email phishing scams. Businesses do not conduct their business in this way.

It is not JP Morgan Chase’s practice to:

• Send e-mail that requires you to enter personal information directly into the e-mail
• Send e-mail threatening to close your account if you do not take immediate action
• Send e-mail asking you to reply by sending personal information
• Send e-mail asking you to enter your user ID, password, or account number into an e-mail or non-secure web page

You should never reply to, click on, or enter any information received from a suspicious e-mail. When receiving a phone call from a JP Morgan Chase Commercial Card Representative, it is not JP Morgan Chase’s practice to ask you to provide:

• Your complete social security number, a representative may ask for the last 4 digits as a verification point
• Card’s expiration date
• CVV or CVV2 from the back of your card

Please contact the Travel Card Administrator if you ever have any questions or concerns regarding a suspicious email or phone call.

Learn how to identify these false requests and protect yourself and your organization.
