3. RECEIPT AND ACTIVATION OF CARDS

3.1 You will only receive a Card if you are eligible under the rules of the Programme. You must be at least 18 years old. If you are issued with a Card, you may be, at our discretion, entitled to apply for one additional Card on your Account (fees apply, see paragraph 13). The additional Cardholder must reside at the same address as you and must be at least 13 years old. The additional Cardholder will have access to your Available Balance. All transactions and charges will be deducted from your Available Balance.

3.2 As the primary Cardholder you are responsible for the additional Card issued to your Account under this Agreement including but not limited to any fees or charges that the Card may incur. You must make the additional Cardholder aware of the terms of this Agreement. Any term of this Agreement that applies to you, shall also apply to the holder of the additional Card, save that any communications we make or action that we take under this Agreement shall be directed to you, the primary Cardholder only.

3.3 Your Card will be posted if physical to the address that was provided when you registered, and will be loaded with any initial funds that you requested to be loaded onto your Card when you applied for it. You should receive your Card within 14 days of application. If your Card is virtual, it will be activated following your registration instantly.

3.4 When you receive your physcial Card, you must sign it immediately. You can activate your Card by calling Customer Services or visiting your Programme Website.

3.5 You will be given your PIN when you activate your Card. You should never reveal your PIN to anybody; we will not reveal your PIN to a third party. If you forget your PIN, you will need to call Customer Services.

3.6 You will be able to change your PIN at any UK bank ATM that has a PIN change facility. When you select or change your PIN, you must not select a PIN that can be easily guessed, such as a number that:

3.6.1 is easily associated with you, such as your telephone number or birth date;

3.6.2 is part of data imprinted on the Card;

3.6.3 consists of the same digits or a sequence of running digits; or

3.6.4 is identical to the previously selected PIN.

4. USING YOUR CARD

4.1 You may use the Card at any Merchant that displays the Visa Mark, excluding limited acceptance Merchants in EU/EEA that do not accept prepaid cards. (fees apply, see paragraph 13). You can use your Card to make purchases in-store, via the internet or over the phone. The Card cannot be used to obtain cash from an ATM, for cash back from Merchants, foreign currency, travellers’ cheques, to settle outstanding balances on credit cards, bank overdrafts or credit agreements, to pay for recurring transactions, adult entertainment and for online gambling and betting transactions.

4.2 When your Card is used to make a transaction with a Merchant we will regard it as authorised by you when you enter your PIN or other security code, or in the case of Contactless purchase transactions, when your Card is tapped at the point of sale terminal in the Merchant’s store (only applicable to Contactless cards). If the Merchant does not accept chip and PIN, or Contactless authorisations, the Merchant may allow you to authorise the transaction by signature of the receipt. On authorisation of the transaction we will receive notification to proceed with it and we will not be able to stop it. You will be responsible for all transactions that you and the additional Cardholder authorise, regardless of the manner of such authorisation.

4.3 Your Card is a prepaid Card, which means that the Available Balance will be reduced by the full amount of each transaction and authorisation, plus any taxes and charges that are applicable.

4.4 You must not use your Card if the Full Deductible Amount exceeds the Available Balance. If, for any reason, a transaction is processed for an amount greater than the Available Balance on your Card, you must repay us the amount by which the Full Deductible Amount exceeds your Available Balance within 14 days of receiving an invoice. Should you not repay this amount within 14 days of receiving an invoice, we reserve the right to take all steps necessary, including legal action, to recover any monies outstanding.

4.5 Due to security safeguards, Merchants that accept your Card are required to seek authorisation from us for all transactions you make. There are some circumstances where Merchants may require you to have an Available Balance greater than the value of the transaction you wish to make. You will only be charged for the actual and final value of the transaction you make. Merchants request this as they may need to access more funds than you initially planned to spend. For example:

4.5.1 Hotels, rental cars, and restaurants.

4.5.2 Internet Merchants - certain internet Merchant sites will, on registration or at checkout stage, send a request for payment authorisation to verify if funds are available; this will temporarily impact your Available Balance. Also, please bear in mind that many sites will not deduct payment until goods are dispatched so please be aware of this when checking your balance and ensure that you always have sufficient funds to cover your purchases.

4.5.3 Your Card cannot be used in situations where it is not possible to obtain online authorisation that you have sufficient balance for the transaction. For example, transactions on trains, ships and some in flight purchases.

4.6 If a Merchant agrees to give you a refund for a purchase made using your Card, we will transfer the refund into your Account when we receive details of it from the Merchant.

4.7 Your Card cannot be used at self service petrol pumps. However, you can use your Card to pay by taking it to the cashier.

4.8 Your Card should not be used as a form of identification. We will decline any authorisation requests from Merchants using your Card for identification purposes.

4.9 Your Card must not be used for any illegal purpose or in any manner prohibited by law.

4.10 The Available Balance on your Account will not earn any interest.

4.11 We may request you to surrender the Card at any time for any good reason in accordance with the provisions in paragraph 17 of this Agreement. Where we do so, and provided that you are eligible and we are permitted by law, then we will give you back your Available Balance in accordance with paragraph 9 of this Agreement (free of redemption fee charge).

4.13 Limits apply to the amount of money that may be loaded on this Card during a period and the maximum value of transactions made using your Card. For full details of these load and spend limits please refer to paragraph 5. If we have any concerns about the security of your Card or its use, we may change the limits that apply to your Card, for example, but not limited to, (i) placing a maximum value on a single purchase transaction, or (ii) a maximum number of Contactless purchase transactions permitted during a period  before you are required to enter your PIN or other security code (only applicable to Contactless cards); or (iii) a maximum number of loads to a Card permitted during a period. If we amend these limits we will notify you by e-mail or text message and make the relevant changes to paragraph 5.

4.14 From time to time, your ability to use your Card may be interrupted, e.g. when we carry out maintenance or need to address a technical issue. If this happens, you may be unable to:

4.14.1 load your Card; and/or

4.14.2 use your Card to make Transactions, pay for purchases or obtain cash from ATMs (if applicable); and/or

10. CARDHOLDER LIABILITY AND AUTHORISATIONS

10.1 We may restrict or refuse to authorise any use of your Card including transactions if using the Card is causing or could cause a condition in this Agreement to be breached or if we have reasonable grounds for suspecting that either you or a third party has committed or is about to commit a crime or other abuse in connection with the Card.

10.4.4 enter your PIN in any ATM that does not look genuine, has been modified, has a suspicious device attached or is operating in a suspicious manner.

Any such transactions together with any fees and charges relating to it will be deducted from the Available Balance on your Card.

10.10 If any of the above circumstances in this paragraph 10.10 or 10.11 apply, you should contact the Merchant first as this may lead to a quicker resolution of the dispute (and for the avoidance of doubt, reasonable time taken to contact the relevant Merchant shall not be deemed an undue delay).

11.6 The Financial Services Compensation Scheme does not apply to this Account. No other compensation schemes exist to cover losses claimed in connection with the Account.

We will use a rate set by Visa, which will be available on each Business Day and changes in the exchange rate shall take effect immediately. Exchange rates can fluctuate and they may change between the time a transaction is made and the time it is deducted from your Available Balance.

We will charge a foreign exchange fee on all foreign currency transactions (see paragraph 13).

13. FEES

13.1 Your Card is subject to certain fees as follows:

13.2 We will deduct any taxes, fees or charges due from the Available Balance on your Card.

14. DISPUTED TRANSACTIONS

14.1 If you have a reason to believe that a transaction for which your Card was used is unauthorised or has been posted to your Account in error, then you must immediately contact Customer Services, but in any event, within 13 months of the date of the relevant transaction. We strongly recommend that you check your Account statement on the Website on a regular basis to identify any unauthorised transactions. Please be aware that any delay in notifying us makes it more difficult for us to obtain evidence as to whether the transaction was authorised. If you dispute a transaction, the Merchant must be able to prove that the transaction actually took place.

14.2 We will immediately refund the unauthorised amount into your Account to the position it would have been in if the unauthorised transaction had not taken place. We will have no further liability to you. If we subsequently discover that you were not entitled to a refund, we shall treat the refund as a mistake and be entitled to reapply the transaction, including any interest and charges, to your Account. In this event we will charge you a £10 administration fee.

14.3 If there are reasonable grounds for thinking that you may not be entitled to a refund based on the evidence available to us at the time you report the unauthorised transaction, we may investigate before giving you a refund.

14.4 You will be liable for all transactions made from your Account:

14.4.1 if you have acted fraudulently;

14.4.2 if the transaction was made because you deliberately or with gross negligence failed to keep your Card or Card details secure or your PIN or other security information secret.

14.5 Where you have agreed that another person in the EEA can take a payment from your Account (e.g. if you have given your Card details to a Merchant for the purpose of making a payment) you can ask us to refund a payment, which we will refund to you within 10 Business Days of our receipt of your request, if all the following conditions are satisfied:

14.5.1 the authorisation you gave did not specify the exact amount to be paid;

14.5.2 the amount that has been charged to your Account was more than you could reasonably have expected to pay based on the circumstances including previous spending patterns; and

14.5.3 you make the refund request within 8 weeks of the date when the payment was charged to your Account.

15. VARIATION

15.1 We may change this Agreement, including charges, fees and limits, at any time by providing you with at least 2 months prior notice by email (provided that you have supplied us with an up-to-date email address) and will ensure the most recent version is always available on the Website.

15.2 You may terminate your Card at any time within the 2 month notice period if you do not agree with the changes to the Agreement, and subject to paragraphs 9.2 to 9.4, you can redeem any unused Available Balance at that time without a charge. However, in the event that you do not cancel during this period then you will be deemed to have accepted the changes and they will apply to you.
