Oxy Visa Card Program

The Business Office administers the Occidental College Visa Card Program. The Visa card is issued by Community Bank and gives direct buying power to authorized employees. An employee is eligible for a Visa card when warranted by a business need and with approval from both the employee’s Vice President and the College Controller. The Visa card is issued based on the College’s line of credit, therefore, there are no credit checks conducted of applicants. The Visa card is an institutional-liability card, which means that the College pays the cardholder’s monthly statement in full directly to Community Bank. All cardholders are responsible for: reviewing the Oxy Visa Card Program Policy, reviewing and completing the Oxy Visa Card Program Cardholder Agreement and submitting a completed and approved Visa Card Expense Report to the Oxy Visa Card Program Administrator within 15 days of receipt of the monthly Visa card statement.


To apply for an Occidental Visa Card, complete and submit the Oxy Visa Card Application form and Oxy VIsa Card Program Cardholder Agreement to the Oxy Visa card program administrator.
