Question 7

Can I use my card to make contactless payments?

Accepted Answer

Yes! Being able to make contactless payments on the go with your Centtrip card is a simple and convenient method for making purchases.

However, from time to time you will still be required to insert your card into a card-reader and enter your PIN to verify the payment. This is to help prevent fraud and keep your money secure, wherever you are around the world.

There are also daily and cumulative limits to how much you can spend on your card using the contactless method, which can vary by both country and retailer.

If after successfully making a purchase using your PIN you find you are still unable to make contactless purchases, please contact Centtrip Support so that we may investigate further.

Please note, if your card is new, contactless payments will not be enabled until you have made a purchase using your PIN.

Question 8

What is an 'Alternative Value' for a Corporate Label in Expense Management?

Accepted Answer

Every Corporate Label created in Expense Management can have an 'Alternative Value'.

Alternative Values can be an accounting code, tracking category or reconciliation or disbursement status. This is useful for mapping to internal accounting practices. Only the Corporate Label is visible for cardholder. The Alternative Value is stored with the transaction.

In the example below:

A - highlights one of the Corporate Label Groups: Expense Type

B - shows the individual labels within that particular Label Group

C - These are the alternative values (or accounting codes) for each label
