Travel Cards

Travel Cards are personal VISA credit cards issued by UMB Bank to employees of the State of Kansas. Use of Travel Cards allows employees to avoid undue hardship when traveling on State business. Employees charge expenses incurred during travel to Travel Cards, submit travel claim forms at the end of travel periods and receive reimbursement from the state prior to the credit card billing becoming due.
