The NYU Prepaid Card (US Prepaid Visa Debit Card) is a payment tool offered as a supplement to the University’s Petty Cash program, administered by the Office of the Bursar.  A prepaid card program can be established by any department or unit for disbursing funds through stored value cards for payment to participants in research studies.

All employee requests for reimbursement and advances must be submitted through AP Workflow.

If you have additional questions or need policy clarification, please email the Bursar’s Office at prepaidcards@nyu.edu.

Please note: Effective February 2023, the NYU Prepaid Card program will be switching providers from Bank of America to US Bank.  All card requests will be fulfilled with US Bank Visa Debit cards.
