State of Kansas Business Travel Card Program

The State of Kansas Business Travel Card Program provides Business Travel Accounts to agencies to purchase transportation tickets for employee travel and Business Travel Cards, which are personal credit cards issued to employees who travel frequently on state business.

BTA - Business Travel Accounts (cardless)

An agency may directly purchase tickets for employee travel by airplane or train with a Business Travel Account (BTA). The BTA is a cardless VISA account issued by UMB Bank to an agency. The use of a BTA is mandatory for the purchase of air and rail tickets through the State's contractor for Travel Agency Management Services. Use of the BTA is optional for purchases of air and rail tickets, not made through the State's contractor for Travel Agency Management Services.

Frequently Asked Questions - BTA

BTC - Business Travel Cards

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