Credit cards
There are two types of payment cards at KI:
1. Employee Corporate Card with individual billing
2. Corporate card or purchase card where KI is financially responsible
The current personal liability cards (Eurocard) are being phased out under the new framework agreement and will end on 28 February 2026. Employees who frequently need to make business related expenses can instead apply for an Employee Corporate Card.
Employee Corporate Card with Individual Billing
The AirPlus Employee Corporate Card (formerly Eurocard) is a Mastercard used for business related purchases in situations where an invoice cannot be provided, for example when travelling abroad.
Private use is not permitted.
Use
- The card may only be used for business expenses
- Private use is not allowed
- KI’s contracted suppliers must be used whenever possible and payment should be made by invoice
Billing and Responsibility
- The card has individual billing and invoices are sent directly to the cardholder
- The cardholder is responsible for paying the invoice on time
- Expenses are reimbursed through travel or expense claims
- No personal credit check is performed; KI is ultimately responsible for the credit
- If the invoice is not paid:
- KI will initially cover the cost, which is then charged to the employee’s department and project
- KI may request repayment from the cardholder through salary deduction or invoice if the expense is not business related or cannot be substantiated with correct documentation
- The cardholder and the head of administration must sign an agreement on card use when applying. The application form can be found under the document section on this page.

Billing
Invoices are sent to the cardholder’s registered address, with options for e-invoice or direct debit. The cardholder must pay the invoice on time. Reimbursement is processed through Primula.
Non Payment
If the cardholder fails to pay the invoice, several reminders will be sent via SMS, email and letter. If payment is still not made, the card provider will require KI to settle the invoice.
The cost will then be charged to the department and project. KI may invoice the cardholder for purchases considered incorrect or inadequately documented. KI may also reclaim funds through salary deduction.
Expense Reimbursement
To receive reimbursement, original receipts showing VAT must be attached. For foreign transactions, a copy of the AirPlus invoice showing the exchange rate must also be included. Travel and expense reimbursements are paid together with the monthly salary. Since the card company provides 30 days credit, reimbursement is usually processed before the invoice due date.
The AirPlus mobile app provides digital receipts from connected vendors, and other receipts can be photographed through the app. All transactions can then be exported and attached to the Primula expense claim.
Corporate Card or Purchase Card where KI is financially responsible
Corporate cards where KI is financially responsible are used to a limited extent. In general, head of administration, head of department, administrators of departments/units and university leadership positions are eligible. For other positions an individual decision is made by the Head of the Legal, Planning and Finance Department (JPE).
Cardholders are personally responsible for all orders and purchases. The card must be stored securely and may only be used for business purposes. Personal use leads to immediate withdrawal. All payments must be verifiable and consistent with KI rules, including representation and travel regulations.
To apply, email redovisning@ki.se. Include which department will be responsible for the card and the intended use.
Blocking and Cancelling Cards
Lost cards must be blocked immediately by contacting AirPlus customer service, available around the clock.
Cards must be cancelled when KI employment ends by contacting redovisning@ki.se.

Existing cards with Personal Payment Liability
No new cards of this type are issued, and existing cards will be discontinued on 28 February 2026. Cardholders will receive information directly from the provider in late November 2025.
Cardholders receive a monthly invoice, pay it, and then register the expense in Primula for reimbursement. Original receipts must be attached. For foreign expenses, a copy of the Eurocard invoice must also be included.
