METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR CONTROLLING USAGE OF A PAYMENT CARD IN ACCORDANCE WITH A CORPORATE TRAVEL POLICY

摘要

A method for controlling, by an integrated travel management and payment card system, usage of a payment card in accordance with a corporate travel policy, includes issuing, by an integrated travel management and payment card system, to a user, a payment card for use during at least one business trip of a user, the payment card in a deactivated state. The integrated travel management and payment card system receives, from an external payment processing platform, an identification of a payment card charge request from the user. The integrated travel management and payment card system determines that the payment card charge request occurs during a time when the user is scheduled to be on the business trip and is in accordance with at least one corporate travel and expense policy and transmits, to the external payment processing platform, an authorization of the payment card charge request.
