Harvard University Corporate Card  Transition to JPMorgan Chase Mastercard

JPMorgan Chase Bank (JPMC) has been selected as the University’s new corporate card vendor. As you may know, the PCard program was successfully converted from GE to JPMC in July 2008. Similar to our current arrangements with GE, the JPMC corporate cards will operate on the MasterCard platform. JPMC’s selection allows us to enjoy the synergies associated with having a single vendor across our purchasing card and corporate card businesses.
