          (g) You may not place a charge or other form of security over your Purse Money Account.

          (h) We may place certain limits on your Purse Money Account depending on your country of residence, verification status or other legal considerations. You can contact [email protected] for more information about these limits.

          (i) We may at our sole and absolute discretion reject a requested transaction, or refund a payment or other transaction, for any reason whatsoever, including without limitation, where the value of your Purse Money Account could directly or indirectly exceed any value permitted under the applicable laws and regulations or any other regulatory or risk limit prescribed for that Purse Money Account.

12.2 Purse Money is not a bank, and your Purse Money Account is not a bank account. 

12.3 Account Details. When Purse Money provides you with Account Details (as described further below), these Account Details are a means to receive funds from third parties into a bank account held by Purse Money and its affiliates. Purse Money can credit your Purse Money Account when you use these Account Details, and they are not a bank account number for a bank account held by you.

12.4 How we protect your money. Purse Money to deposit ‘relevant funds’ in separate safeguarding accounts, completely segregated from any other accounts or funds that it holds, including the firm’s working capital.

 

How safeguarding works 

 

To safeguard properly, Purse Money must put your money in a separate safeguarding account with a bank. The following rules apply:

●       All relevant funds are identified, including those held on behalf of clients, money received for transactions, fees and charges;

●       All client funds are segregated from our funds and held in separate accounts, preventing their use for other purposes;

●       Effective systems and controls managing the risks of holding relevant funds are established and maintained; and

●       Regular internal and external reconciliations of safeguarding flows are conducted to ensure they’re accurately accounted for.

This means that, if we go out of business, you should get most of your money back. But it may take some time to receive, and it may not be the full amount, as some costs could be taken by the administrator or liquidator of the firm.

Your money is not protected by the Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS)

12.5 Adding money to your Purse Money Account. To add funds to your Purse Money Account, you need to log in to your Purse Money Account and follow the steps. You may be presented with one or more methods of adding funds to your Purse Money Account. For example, you may be able to use a bank transfer, authorise Purse Money to debit the money from your bank or payment account with a third party, or use a credit card or debit card (in this Agreement, we will call these methods “Pay-in Methods”). Any Pay-In Method that you use to add money to your Purse Money Account must be in your name.

12.6 Pay-in Methods. The Pay-in Methods made available to you will depend on a few factors including where you live and your verification status with us. You will see the available Pay-in Method when you choose to add funds to your Purse Money Account. We cannot guarantee the availability of any particular Pay-in Method and we may change or stop offering a Pay-in Method at any time without notice to you.

12.7 Adding money with your debit card. Where you can use a debit or credit card as your Pay-in Method to add money to your Purse Money Account, you will need to provide your card details to us. This will include your card number and cardholder name. When you choose to add money via debit or credit card, you confirm that your card details are correct, that you are authorised to access and transmit funds from your card account, that your card account is in good standing with the account provider and that you have the authority to initiate a debit or credit card payment in the amount at issue from your card account.

12.8 Restrictions on adding Money. We only offer the Pay-In Methods you see when you access our Services. Other methods, such as a paper or e-cheque, and cash will not be accepted. For legal, security, or other reasons, there may be financial limits on your chosen Pay-in Methods or currencies, including how much you can add to your Purse Money Account. We will let you know at the time of adding money if there is a limit.

12.9 Receiving money to your Purse Money Account from other sources. In certain currencies, we may provide you with local account details that you or a third party can use to send money directly to your Purse Money Account (“Account Details”). The Account Details that we provide to you are only a means to receive funds from third parties into a bank account held by Purse Money and its affiliates, so that Purse Money can credit your Purse Money Account that is held at the Purse Money entity described in the beginning of this Agreement (regardless of currency) and are not a bank account number for a bank account held by you.

12.10 We may carry out verification checks when you request Account Details in addition to the checks required to obtain a Purse Money Account, and we may carry out further checks on an ad-hoc basis. From time to time your Account Details may change. When this occurs, we will notify you, and you are responsible for updating third parties and other arrangements you may have to receive funds using your Account Details.

12.12 When we will credit your Purse Money Account. We are not responsible for the funds you have added until we have received them. For clarity, when you add funds to your Purse Money Account, we are the recipient of those funds. This means the bank or payment service provider you used to send the funds to us is the one responsible for making sure we receive them so that we can credit them to your Purse Money Account.

12.13 We will credit your Purse Money Account once we have received your funds. For some Pay-in Methods such as a credit or debit card, we may credit the funds before we receive the funds subject to our right of Reversal. This means if we credit your Purse Money Account for the full amount you intended to add but this amount does not reach us, we will deduct that amount from your Purse Money Account. If you have already spent the funds, this could make your Purse Money Account have a negative balance (see “What happens if you owe us money”).

 

13. Withdrawing funds from your Purse Money Account


13.1 You can request to withdraw your funds. You may withdraw all or some of the balance in your Purse Money Account. 

13.2 Pay-out Methods available to you. You may be presented with one or more methods of withdrawal (in this Agreement, we will call these methods "Pay-out Methods"). The number of Pay-out Methods made available to you will depend on a few factors including where you live and your verification status with us. We cannot guarantee the use of any Pay-out Method and may change or stop offering a Pay-out Method at any time without notice to you.

13.3 You must provide correct information to us. When setting up your withdrawal request, you must ensure that the information you provide is correct and complete. We will not be responsible for money sent to the wrong recipient because of incorrect information provided by you.

13.4 What happens if you provide incorrect recipient information. If you have provided incorrect information to us, we may, but are not required to, assist you in recovering your funds. We cannot guarantee that such efforts will be successful as they rely on the policies and practices of other banks and institutions. In addition, Purse Money may not be able to confirm that your recipient’s name and account number match, as the names and other information associated with third party accounts may not be known to Purse Money. This means that if you provide an incorrect account number, your funds will most likely go to the wrong account.

13.5 Your withdrawal request is subject to limits. You agree that your Purse Money Account is subject to withdrawal limits. If your withdrawal request exceeds the current limit, we may decline your request or we may require you to provide additional documents to us so that we can carry out additional checks before allowing the money to be withdrawn.

13.6 Delay in withdrawal. We may delay a withdrawal in certain situations, including if we need to confirm that the withdrawal has been authorised, to complete verification checks, or if other payments to your Purse Money Account have been reversed (for example, because of a chargeback or Reversal). We cannot be held responsible for any such delays, provided that we have acted reasonably in delaying a withdrawal.

13.7 Finality. Pay-outs, currency conversions and Card or other transactions executed by us are final and irrevocable once you request them, unless otherPurse Money provided in this Agreement or pursuant to applicable law.

 

14. Reversals and Chargebacks


14.1 Funds added or received to your Purse Money Account may be subject to Reversal or chargeback. Funds added to your Purse Money Account could be Reversed or subject to a chargeback, which means that you will not get those funds credited to your Purse Money Account. A Reversal or chargeback may occur where the funds added to your Purse Money Account are Reversed by Purse Money or Reversed to or subject to a chargeback by the person paying you the money or the payment provider.

14.2 When a Reversal or chargeback may happen. You may be liable for and/or have funds reversed or be subject to a chargeback when, without limitation, we have reason to believe:

          (a) Purse Money, or any other party, sent the amount received to you in error.

          (b) The amount received was unauthorised or fraudulently undertaken or induced.

          (c) The amount received was received for activities that appear to have violated a law, this Agreement, the Acceptable Use Policy, or any other agreement between you and Purse Money.

          (d) The amount received is, for any reason, Reversed by the sender or a payment provider.

          (e) Any other error that may result in your Purse Money Account being credited in circumstances where you are not the lawful recipient and/or lawfully entitled to retain the amount received.

14.3 If any funds are Reversed by the sender or any payment provider, you agree that Purse Money may refund, deduct, or Reverse the amount of the funds plus any fees from your Purse Money Account (if applicable) in the same currency as the original transaction. If your Purse Money Account balance for the relevant currency is insufficient to cover the amount of a refund or Reversal, Purse Money may at its discretion perform a currency conversion to refund or Reverse the transaction, subject to the exchange rate being offered by Purse Money in the applicable currencies at that time. If a Reversal or chargeback causes you to have a negative balance, you will be immediately liable to Purse Money for the negative balance plus any losses to Purse Money, if any.

14.4 Chargeback Fees. If you receive a debit or credit card-funded payment into your Purse Money Account and you (or a third party) pursue a chargeback for the transaction with the card issuer, then Purse Money may apply a fee in accordance with our Pricing Page, for facilitating the chargeback process and will remove the chargeback funds from your Purse Money Account.

 

15. Maintaining your Purse Money Account


15.1 Transaction history is displayed on your Purse Money Account. All your transactions (including your current balance, funds you have added, received, sent and/or withdrawn), related fees and exchange rates, if applicable, are recorded in the statement section of your Purse Money Account.

15.2 Statements. You have the right to request a physical account statement showing your Purse Money Account activity by contacting [email protected]. You may view your Purse Money Account statement by logging into your Purse Money Account. You may be able to view your Purse Money Account in a way that some of your transactions are hidden. This is to allow you to isolate transactions from recipients to determine your spending with those recipients. You will need to readjust your viewing preferences if you have used this feature to default to see all transactions.

15.3 Check your Purse Money Account regularly. You must check your Purse Money Account regularly and carefully and contact our customer support team immediately if you don’t recognise a transaction or think we have made a payment incorrectly. You must tell us about any unauthorised or incorrectly executed transactions immediately and no later than 13 months after the transaction date from when you become aware of the unauthorised transaction.

15.4 You accept the risks of holding funds in multiple currencies. You agree and accept all the risks associated with maintaining an account that can hold balances in multiple currencies including any risks associated with fluctuations in the relevant exchange rates over time.

15.5 We are not a currency trading platform. Purse Money is not a currency trading platform. You agree that you will not use your Purse Money Account for seeking to profit from currency conversion or foreign exchange trading or other types of speculative trading, or for speculative trading purposes, conversion arbitrage, conversion options or any other activity that Purse Money determines is primarily for the purpose of gaining or making gains based on currency conversion rates.

15.6 Accordingly, you should not use our Services, including the Purse Money Account or the auto conversion order function for this purpose, including creating multiple auto conversion orders or a series of Money Transfers without the intention of completing them. If we detect that you are using our Services for this purpose, we may, at our sole discretion, set a limit on the number of auto conversion orders you may create, cancel your orders, set a limit on the amount of money you can convert or transfer in one or more currencies or in the same currency, restrict your ability to access certain features or use our Services, or suspend or close your Purse Money Account. Purse Money may also hold, cancel, or reverse any transaction we determine to violate this policy and disgorge your gains.

15.7 Negative Balances. You promise to always have a zero or positive balance in your Purse Money Account and to repay Purse Money if your Purse Money Account balance is negative, including because of a chargeback, Reversal, deduction of fees, any other error, or any other action. That negative amount represents an amount you owe to Purse Money, and you must repay the negative amount immediately without any notice from us. We may send you reminders or take other actions to recover the negative amount from you, for example, we may use a debt collection service or take further legal actions. We may charge you for any costs we may incur as a result of these collection efforts. For more information, see “What Happens if you owe us money”.

 

16. Using or spending funds in your Purse Money Account via Cards


16.1 Cards. Your Card can be used to access and spend the funds in your Purse Money Account, for example, to pay for goods and services ​online, over the phone, or in person and can be used to withdraw money from ATMs. The Card is not a guarantee card, charge card or credit card. It is not for resale. The Card may be cancelled, repossessed, or revoked at any time without prior notice subject to applicable law.

16.2 Digital card. You may apply for a digital Card. The issuance of the digital Card is free of charge and there are no monthly or annual fees. You can freeze your digital Card at any time and unfreeze it once you are ready to use it again.
