1. WHO WE ARE

We are Paynetics UK Limited.

We operate the website at https://www.paynetics.digital/.

2.2. Where these terms refer to:

2.3. Our services allow you to:

(a) send money in your Account to third parties (which we refer to in these terms as beneficiaries), such as friends, family, or persons you owe money to (this type of payment is referred to in these terms as a “Push Payment”);

(b) spend money in your Account at a merchant using your Cards (this type of payment is referred to in these terms as a “Card Payment”);

(c) withdraw cash from your Account using your Cards at an ATM (referred to in these terms as “Cash Withdrawal”);

(d) exchange money in GBP for money in EUR by transferring money from your GBP Account to your Euro Account; and

2.4. An APP Scam is where a person uses a fraudulent or dishonest act or course of conduct to manipulate, deceive or persuade another person to transfer money from the payer’s account to another account not controlled by the payer, where:

2.5. We only reimburse victims of APP Scams in certain limited circumstances, including where money is sent from your GBP Account via faster payments. This does not include overseas payments or any payment method other than faster payments (please see clause 11 for more detail). It is therefore extremely important that you are vigilant when making requests to execute Push Payments. If you have any concerns at all about any Push Payments you are going to ask us to execute on your behalf, please get in touch with us before instructing the Push Payment.

3. THESE TERMS

3.1. This document sets out the terms and conditions of our services. It also sets out other important things that you need to know. These terms and conditions, along with the fees page (which you can access by clicking on the following link https://resources.weavr.io/employment_hero_conusmers-programme-terms) (the “Fees Page”) apply to our services and form a legal agreement (the “Agreement”) between you (being the holder of the Account and the Cards) and us.

3.2. You can terminate these terms at any time by emailing or contacting our customer services team using the details set out in clause 29.1 (the “Customer Relations Centre”). We can terminate these terms at any time by providing you with 2 months’ notice via e-mail.

3.3. You should be aware of the following when reading these terms:

4. INFORMATION ON YOUR ACCOUNT

4.1. Your Account is electronic money accounts within which you can hold electronic money. Your GBP Account can hold electronic money in GBP and your Euro Account can hold electronic money in Euro.

4.2. Electronic money is an electronic alternative to money. When you send money to your Account, we will credit the relevant Account with a corresponding amount of electronic money. In these terms, when we refer to ‘money’ in your Account, what we mean is electronic money.

4.3. Once you have money in your Account, you will be able to use our services.

4.4. Your Account differs from bank accounts in that money in your Account:

4.5. You can credit your GBP Account:

(a) by making a payment via bank transfer using the details of the IBAN or account number and sort code linked to your GBP Account as the beneficiary account details; and

4.6. You can credit your Euro Account by making a payment via bank transfer using the details of the IBAN linked to your Euro Account as the beneficiary account details.

4.7. If you send money to the wrong account by mistake when trying to credit one of your Accounts, you should contact the financial institution from which you sent money to us. We cannot accept responsibility for sending money by mistake using the services of other financial institutions.

4.8. Please note that someone other than you can credit your Account by making a payment via bank transfer using the details of:

4.9. You may be charged a fee every time your Account is topped up. Please see the Fees Page for more information.

4.10. We will deduct money from your relevant Account when you execute a Card Payment, a Cash Withdrawal, a Push Payment or exchange money from GBP to EUR or vice versa. We will also deduct money from your Account when you owe us fees.

4.11. You can find out when money has been added to and taken from your Account by checking the Platform.

4.12. You can send money from your Account to an account you hold with another financial institution by executing a Push Payment and providing your (non-Paynetics) account details as the beneficiary account details.

4.13. We can hold money in your Account indefinitely. However, if you have not used the money in your Account for more than two years, we shall try and contact you to establish whether you still want to have an Account with us. If we are unable to get in touch with you, we reserve the right to send the money in your Account, less our costs, to the last known (non-Paynetics) account we have on file for you. Any money will be converted to the currency this (non-Paynetics) account is denominated in, using our standard exchange rate.

4.14. We may refuse to top-up your Account if:

5. ACCESS TO YOUR ACCOUNT BY THIRD-PARTY PROVIDERS

5.1. You may choose to allow (and provided you have given them your explicit consent):

5.2. Only those providers of account information or payment initiation services that are authorised with the Financial Conduct Authority to provide the relevant service in the UK, can be given access to your Account. The Financial Conduct Authority’s register (available at https://register.fca.org.uk/) will tell you whether a provider is authorised in the UK, and we recommend you check it before using their services.

5.3. We will treat any instruction from such providers of account information or payment initiation services as if it was from you. Some providers may use your Account security details to provide their service. You should always consider the implications of sharing your security information.

5.4. We can deny providers of account information or payment initiation services access to your Account if we are concerned about unauthorised or fraudulent access. We will notify you of the denial of access and the reasons for it beforehand if possible or otherwise immediately afterwards (unless doing so would compromise our security measures or would be unlawful). The access to your Account may be restored once the reasons for denying the access no longer justify such denial.

6. HOW WE PROTECT MONEY IN YOUR ACCOUNT

When we receive money for your Account, we credit the relevant Account with electronic money and we place the equivalent amount of money in segregated bank accounts with mainstream banks. This is commonly known as safeguarding.

6.1. Safeguarding means that in the unlikely event that we get into financial difficulties, the money which we safeguard will be protected from the claims of our creditors and it should be returned to you in full, less the costs incurred by insolvency practitioners in distributing the safeguarded funds.

6.2. Segregated bank accounts are bank accounts which we hold with mainstream banks, and which only hold client money and not our own money.

6.3. Money will not be safeguarded by us on your behalf, when it is deducted from your Account.

7. PUSH PAYMENTS

7.1. A Push Payment is us sending money from one of your Accounts to:

7.2. We use, and make available to you, various methods to execute Push Payments, including SEPA, Faster Payments. We do not guarantee that any particular payment method will be made available to you.

7.3. When we refer to a “beneficiary” in these terms, we mean a person who will receive the money subject to the Push Payment. The beneficiary account is the account, held by the beneficiary, that you want the money to be sent to.

7.4. You can make a request for a Push Payment to be executed via the Platform or through a payment initiation service provider. You will need to let us know:

7.5. The time of receipt of your request for a Push Payment is when we receive it, which will typically be on the same day you make the request. If you future date a Push Payment, then we will be deemed to have received your request to execute the Push Payment on the date you want your Push Payment to be executed.

7.6. We have implemented confirmation of payee for Push Payments from your GBP Account where the beneficiary account is located in the UK. This means that when you provide us with new beneficiary account details, we will check through the confirmation of payee system that the name of the beneficiary you have provided us with matches the name on the account with the sort code and account number you have provided us with. You will be provided with four possible outcomes from the confirmation of payee system:

You should take extreme caution when placing a request to execute a Push Payment, where the name you have provided us with does not match, exactly or at all, the name on the account with the sort code and account number you have provided us with.

You should not take the fact that the name you have provided us with matches the name on the account, with the sort code and account number you have provided us with, as an assurance that you are not the subject of an APP Scam. If you have any concerns that you might be the victim of an APP Scam, you must contact us prior to executing the Push Payment.

7.7. We confirm the details of each Push Payment order placed. After a Push Payment order is processed, you will be able to see the confirmation of the Push Payment on the Platform.

7.8. If you see confirmation of a Push Payment you did not place with us, you must contact us as soon as possible via the Customer Relations Centre.

7.9. We can refuse requests from you to execute Push Payments. If we do so, we shall, unless it would be unlawful for us to do so, notify you of the refusal and the reasons for that refusal. We will also let you know the procedure for rectifying any factual errors that led to that refusal.

7.10. If you think that you have provided us with incorrect details, you must contact us via the Customer Relations Centre as soon as possible.

7.11. You can only execute a Push Payment if you have enough money in the relevant Account. Your request to execute a Push Payment will be rejected if you try to execute a Push Payment but there is not enough money in the relevant Account to cover the amount of the payment and any applicable fees.

7.12. You may cancel a request to execute a Push Payment, at any time before the end of the business day before the Push Payment is due to be executed, via the Customer Relations Centre.

7.13. How long will it take for money sent via a Push Payment to reach the beneficiary account? We are obliged by the Payment Services Regulations 2017 to tell you the maximum amount of time it is allowed to take, for money in your Account to arrive with the beneficiary’s bank. In most cases, it will take less time than this. If you want details of the amount of time it is likely to take, please call us.

8. THE PLATFORM

8.1. The Platform allows you to (among other things):

(d) find out our foreign exchange rates if you wanted to exchange money from EUR to GBP or GBP to EUR.

8.2. You can gain access to the Platform via the internet (if it is a web application) or via a mobile application which you can download on the App Store or [●]. You require the following operating systems [iOS 13.4 and Android 7.0] to download our App.

9. CARDS

9.1. Cards are issued under the Mastercard brand pursuant to a license granted by Mastercard International or under the Visa brand pursuant to a license granted by Visa Europe Limited. The Card allows you to make Card Payments with merchants that accept Mastercard© or Visa© and enter into Cash Withdrawals at ATMs that accept Mastercard© or Visa©.

9.2. We issue both physical Cards and ‘virtual’ Cards. A ‘virtual’ Card is not a physical card; rather, you will be provided with the card number, expiry date, and security code via the Platform. You can then use these details to make Card Payments with merchants.

9.3. The value of Card Payments and Cash Withdrawals and all applicable fees will be deducted from the balance of money in the Account linked to the Card you used.

9.4. You will be responsible for all goods or services purchased with the Card. Any dispute with a merchant about a product or service purchased with the Card will be considered a dispute between you and the merchant and should be addressed directly to that merchant. We do not accept any responsibility or liability for the quality, safety, legality, or any other aspect relating to goods or services purchased with the Card and do not provide any warranties regarding such goods or services.

9.5. We will not be liable if a merchant refuses to accept your Card or if we have refused to execute a Card Payment or Cash Withdrawal whilst acting in accordance with this Agreement.

9.6. Your Cards cannot be transferred and/or made available to use by anyone but you.

9.7. Each Card has a validity period within which you may use the Card. If your Card is physical, it will expire on the last day of the month/year indicated on its front. If your Card is virtual, it will expire on the last day of the month/year indicated on the Platform or on the expiry date sent to you by e-mail‎. All Card Payments and Cash Withdrawals initiated after the expiration or cancellation of the Card will not be authorised or executed.

9.8. Your physical Cards will be sent to you via post within 10 business days of the date your application is accepted. You may have to produce identification to receive your physical Cards. You must sign on the signature strip on the reverse side of your physical Cards immediately after receiving them. Your virtual Cards will be issued via the Platform immediately after your application is approved by us.

9.9. When you receive the physical Card, it will be inactive. You have to activate the physical Card before using it. The physical Card can be activated online by following the instructions for activation provided to you.

9.10. You will be provided with a PIN to use with your physical Cards. You can change your PIN at an ATM. You should memorize your PIN and then ensure that any media on which it is recorded is destroyed or at the very least not kept with your physical Card. You have important obligations to keep your security details, such as your PIN, safe.

9.11. You may request a new physical Card if your existing Card is lost, stolen, or destroyed. You will be charged a fee for replacing the physical Card (please see our Fees Page).

9.12. You can give us an instruction and consent to a Card Payment and a Cash Withdrawal being executed, using your Card, by any one of the following methods:

9.13. Your consent for a Card Payment may cover a single payment or a series of recurring payments on the Card (such as where you give your Card details to a merchant to be used for Card Payments in the future) for a set or variable amount. Please be careful when providing your consent.

9.14. If there is insufficient money in your GBP Account or your Euro Account to complete a Card Payment or Cash Withdrawal, including all applicable fees, funds will be automatically transferred from your Account in the other currency to your relevant currency Account at the then prevailing currency conversion rates. If there is insufficient balance in both your Euro Account and your GBP Account to complete a Card Payment or a Cash Withdrawal, including all applicable fees, the relevant transaction will be refused. See clause 19 for more detail on the applicable currency conversion rates and fees.

9.15. Merchants in certain business sectors (e.g., car rental companies, hotels, and other service providers) estimate the amount of the final Card Payment to them and require us to “pre-authorise” or withhold the estimated amount in the Account your Card is linked to. Sometimes, that withheld amount may exceed the final amount spent. In such cases, the initially withheld funds will not be available to you for up to 15 days until the final Card Payment request is received by us or released by the merchant. We may release such amounts only with the merchant’s consent.

10. YOUR OBLIGATIONS TO KEEP THE PLATFORM AND YOUR CARDS SAFE

10.5. We will, if possible, notify you before restricting, blocking, or deactivating your Cards and the reasons for it.

10.6. The Cards will be unblocked or re-activated (or replaced) as soon as possible after the reasons for blocking cease to exist.

11. AUTHORISED PUSH PAYMENT SCAMS

11.1. Unless stated in clause 11.2 that we will not reimburse you, we will reimburse you the amount of money that you have lost, as a result of an APP Scam, up to the maximum level of reimbursement for APP Scams set by the Payment Systems Regulator (which you can view on its website www.psr.org.uk), less an excess of £100, where all of the following apply:

(a) you have been the victim of an APP Scam;

(b) the money which was the subject of the APP Scam was sent via a Push Payment from your GBP Account with us:

(i) to a payment account which is denominated in GBP and located in the UK and not controlled by you; and

(ii) via the faster payments scheme.

We will not deduct an excess from the amount we reimburse you, if you were a Vulnerable Customer at the time the relevant Push Payment was executed and the vulnerability affected your ability to protect yourself from the APP Scam. A Vulnerable Customer is someone who, due to their personal circumstances, is especially susceptible to harm – particularly when we have not acted with appropriate levels of care.

11.2. We will not reimburse you under clause 11.1 if one of the following circumstances applies:

(a) we determine that you:

(b) upon learning or suspecting that you were the victim of an APP Scam, report it promptly to us;

(c) respond to any reasonable and proportionate requests for information made by us;

11.4. It will be more likely that we can demonstrate that you have been grossly negligent in complying with the Consumer Standard of Caution if:

(a) you proceed with a Push Payment, despite having been told that the name of the beneficiary you have provided us with does not match the name on the account that you have provided us with the sort code and account number of;

11.5. If you are entitled to a refund from us, as a result of you being the victim of an APP Scam, we will reimburse you within five business days of you telling us about the APP Scam unless we “stop the clock.” If we avail ourselves of the “stop-the-clock” opportunity and ask you to provide us with additional information and/or documents to be able to assess your APP Scam claim, you should cooperate in good faith with us and provide us with all information and/or documents reasonably requested within your possession or knowledge. We are entitled to “stop the clock” to gather further information to assess your claim for reimbursement. If we “stop the clock,” we must in any event decide whether your claim is to be reimbursed or not within 35 business days of you telling us about the scam.

11.6. If you think that you are entitled to reimbursement under this clause 11, please get in touch with us via the Customer Relations Centre as soon as possible.

12.6. If you gave us the wrong beneficiary account details, we will not issue you with a refund, but we will try and trace the money subject to the Push Payment for you. We may charge you a reasonable fee for tracing this money.

The exchange rate will be determined at the time the money is received.

19.3. If a Card Payment or Cash Withdrawal is in a currency other than the currency of the linked Account, then the amount deducted will be the amount of the Card Payment or Cash Withdrawal converted to the currency of the linked Account using the reference exchange rate applied by MasterCard® (available at https://www.mastercard.co.uk/en-gb/personal/get-support/convert-currency.html) plus the currency conversion mark-up fee set out in the Fees Page. The exchange rate shall be determined on the date that the Card Payment or Cash Withdrawal is processed. The reference exchange rate is not set by us and varies throughout the day meaning it may change between the date the Card Payment or Cash Withdrawal is made and the date it is processed. We provide information on the total currency conversion charges applicable with respect to Card Payments and Cash Withdrawals, expressed as a percentage mark-up over the latest available euro foreign exchange reference rates issued by the European Central Bank on the Platform.

20. INDEMNITY

20.1. You shall indemnify us against all amounts we are required to pay to another financial institution, together with all associated losses, expenses, and costs (including all interest, penalties, legal costs (calculated on a full indemnity basis), and professional costs and expenses), where both:

(a) that other financial institution has compensated its customer as a result of its customer claiming to have been the victim of an APP Scam; and

(b) any money which that customer paid, as part of the APP Scam, was credited or meant to be credited to your Account.

20.2. We may deduct any monies you owe us in accordance with clause 20.1 from your Account(s) and from your Card(s) and if you do not have sufficient funds, this will result in your Account having a negative balance.

21. NEGATIVE BALANCE

If any action results in a negative balance in one or more of your Accounts, you must top-up the relevant Account(s) by the amount of the negative balance immediately. If one Account has money in it and the other has a negative balance, then we shall be able to transfer money from the Account with money in it to the one with the negative balance. Until the negative balance is reimbursed in full, we may:

(a) suspend your Account(s) and Cards;

(b) charge you interest at 4% above the base rate of the Bank of England on such negative balance; and/or

(c) take legal action against you to recover such amount and charge you our reasonable costs in pursuing you.

Statements will not be provided on paper. You should carefully review these statements regularly. Your statements will remain available on the Platform for you to access for 1 year. You may wish to download or print your statements for your future reference. You will be charged a fee (see Fees Page) if you ask us to provide additional information or provide it in a different manner than described here.

23. LATE OR INCORRECTLY EXECUTED TOP-UPS TO YOUR ACCOUNT

23.1. If we have received a payment for your Account but we have not credited it correctly or on time, we will immediately credit your Account with the correct amount including any fees to restore the Account to the position it would have been at if the payment was executed correctly and on time.

23.2. If we top-up your Account when we shouldn’t have done or when this money does not belong to you, (for example, someone sent it to you by mistake), we may, where we consider it reasonable to do so, take this money from your Account and return it to the sender. We are obliged to provide certain information to the sender’s payment service provider about you and the payment to enable them to recover their funds.

24. REFUND

24.1. If you authorise a Card Payment without knowing the final amount of the payment (for example, when renting a car or booking a hotel room) and you think that the final amount of the payment is too much, you have the right to ask us to process a refund of such payment provided that all of the following conditions are met:

24.2. Within 10 business days of receiving your request for a refund, or, where applicable, of receiving the further information we requested, we will refund the full amount of the Card Payment or inform you of the refusal to refund it, together with the grounds for refusal and the authorities to which you can complain if you do not accept those grounds. The refund will include the entire amount of the Card Payment which will be dated back to the date on which your Account was debited.
