How to File a Procurement Card (PCard) Dispute

You should file a dispute when you:

Did not make a purchase that appears on your statement.
Have duplicate or incorrect charges that the merchant will not credit.
Are billed for merchandise that you never received.
Are not credited for a return.

In case of a dispute, the cardholder or department fund manager should contact the merchant directly.

The bank will take these actions on your behalf:

Work with the merchant to determine if the charge is valid.
Contact you if additional information is required.
Credit your account while researching the dispute.

If the dispute is valid, your account will be adjusted accordingly.
