Government Charge Card Services

Charge Cards are available to provide federal agencies with an easy solution for making smaller purchases. 

The Charge Card program is known as GSA SmartPay.

Federal card holders can use the GSA SmartPay program to pay for:

  • Commercial goods and services;
  • Travel related expenses; and
  • Fleet expenses.

GSA Charge Cards provide the federal government and its contractors with numerous benefits including:

  • A streamlined purchasing process that eliminates the use of purchase orders and reduces administrative costs;
  • An improved payment process that allows fully automated invoicing and payment processing;
  • Performance based refunds for agencies based on net charge volume; and 
  • Electronic access systems that allow for streamlined financial operations and allocation methods.

Visit the GSA SmartPay pages to learn more about charge card services available to federal agencies.
