Don’t use USPS credit cards for personal expenses

Breaking this rule can lead to corrective action

The USPS Ethics Office is reminding Postal Service employees not to use the organization’s credit cards for personal expenses.

Government-issued credit cards can only be used for authorized, business-related expenses.

For example, employees should never use the cards to pay for a video streaming subscription, a haircut or pet insurance.

Employees also cannot use Voyager cards to purchase fuel for a personal vehicle or to buy drinks and snacks.

Using these cards for personal expenses is a violation of federal regulations and will result in corrective action, up to and including job loss.

Employees who have questions should email the USPS Ethics Office or call (202) 268-6346.
