The General Services Administration (GSA) has a contract with Citibank to issue travel charge cards to eligible employees of the Federal Government. With GSA requiring mandatory use of the Citibank travel card by all Department employees who travel, it is important that travelers apply for and use the card. This card will be issued to you without an annual fee and without a personal credit check. The card will afford you financial flexibility and convenience while traveling on official Government business.  ITA staff who travel two or more times a year must have a Citibank Travel Card.
