IF YOU SEE FRAUD

■ If fraud is suspected on your P-Card, immediately call the US Bank fraud prevention line at

(800) 523-9078

OR

■ Customer service may be reached at

(800) 344-5696

(Press “0” to bypass options and speak with a representative.)

Make sure the Customer Service number is entered in your cell phone for easy reporting of a lost or stolen card.

55

IF THE BANK SUSPECTS FRAUD

If US Bank suspects any fraudulent transactions, your purchases will be blocked.

■ Call Customer Service (800-344-5696) for help with completing a transaction

■ US Bank will cancel your card and issue a new one if fraud is confirmed

■ You will be contacted when your card has been delivered to Shared

Services

56

DETERMINING FRAUD OR DISPUTE

■ US Bank defines fraud as the unauthorized third party use of a card

■ Dispute is defined as a disagreement between the merchant and the cardholder where the cardholder is asking for the card issuer’s assistance

Dispute doesn’t apply to unrecognized charges.

Whenever possible the cardholder should attempt to resolve the matter with the vendor prior to initiating a dispute. The dispute process should be used rarely; contacting the merchant is the most direct and efficient means of correcting an error.

57

BEST PRACTICES FOR FRAUD PREVENTION

■ Sign your card as soon as it arrives

■ Make sure your card is always in your possession ; do not leave it in a drawer or out in the open

■ Keep an eye on your card during a transaction and ensure it is returned as quickly as possible

■ Report lost or stolen cards immediately

■ Destroy any unneeded receipts and statements

■ Open bills or review them online regularly

■ Reconcile all accounts monthly

■ Notify Shared Services immediately if you change your address or phone number

■ Do not share your card or PIN with anyone

■ Never write account numbers or personal information on unsecured media , such as a piece of paper or business card

■ Do not provide personal information over the phone unless you have initiated the call and the company is reputable

■ Protect your account number at all times. If you receive an email, telephone call, text, or other form of communication asking to confirm an account number, do not provide that information

■ Do not use fuel pumps that appear to have been compromised. If the card reader looks unusual or appears to have been tampered with, go inside or to a different pump

■ Report questionable charges or any unauthorized activity immediately. The faster an unauthorized activity is reported, the faster it can be resolved. Call 800-344-5696 to report 58

KEEP TRACK OF RECEIPTS

(including sales tax)

■ Secure compliant receipts for submission with your P-Card packet

How to file a DISPUTE on a charge

Sometimes it may be necessary to file a dispute with US Bank.

If this is the case, first open your transactions and double click on the approval status of the transaction in question.
