Important PCard Address Reminder
When using your PCard online, you will generally be required to enter the billing address of the card. We have seen a slight increase in PCard declines because of the billing address provided. It is important to provide the proper address for transactions to process correctly.
All OHIO cards have 160 W Union St Athens, OH 45701 as the billing address. Using an improper billing address could result in your card being declined and your transaction will not go through.
Please contact financecustomercare@ohio.edu if you have any questions.
