Payment card

From mid-January 2026, employees of Stockholm University will be offered a centrally procured Corporate Travel Card with individual invoicing through AirPlus (formerly Eurocard) for work-related expenses.
Existing payment cards with personal payment liability are not included in the new framework agreement and will be automatically terminated on 28 February 2026. Current cardholders were informed directly by the card provider at the end of November 2025.

To reduce the need for personal outlays and advances, Stockholm University offers employees a centrally procured corporate travel card with individual invoicing. This payment model means that the employer procures favourable payment terms or guarantees certain payment conditions for the employee.
The card is intended solely for work-related expenses, such as costs incurred in connection with business travel.

The corporate travel card is a supplement to the University’s standard purchasing and payment procedures. Please note that purchases made by payment card must not replace invoicing as a payment method. Wherever possible, purchases shall be invoiced.

Application and Approval

The Head of Department or equivalent at your department decides who may be issued a corporate travel card.
Before an employee may apply for a card, the responsible manager must inform the employee of the applicable rules for card usage. Information may also be obtained from the Travel Manager.

The Head of Department or equivalent is responsible for ensuring that all cardholders receive updated information whenever the University’s policies, rules/guidelines, or the card provider’s terms and conditions are amended.
The employee must sign a Declaration of Agreement, confirming that they have received and understood the applicable rules.
